Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
welcome hinto.
Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
Now just to figure out which one to install ;)
I have a Acer laptop (Quad core, 8GB Ram) with onboard ATI. I currently run PearOS on it, but I can't decide where the bottle neck is... either animations (tho minimal) or the ATI video driver. I borked the video on it once while trying to install the one from the ATI's site, but straightened that out....
Suggestions?
Edit:
My current installed distros are:
#! (tracking siduction) using XFCE
Fuduntu (Gnome 2/3 + AWN)
PearOS 6 (OS Like)
KDE Mint 13

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
Good question. Ask 5 people, get 5 opinions :)
The DEs missing from your list of installed DEs are MATE (I guess Fuduntu serves that already) and razorqt, though the 'Q doesn't (yet) have a specialized spin for that. CDE is not an option, IMO.
What if you Roast Your Own - a "HintOS" from scratch and create an ISO? For fun. Take a suitable base and blow it up ;) Or you can try something different like i3 or dig into SpectrWM or awesome. With this hardware you should be able to run everything under the sun :)
By default, the Base systems are comparably bare, and the special editions (except Rocks!) are 32-bit, so they're opted out.

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
good suggestions...
Not real interested in Mate, maybe a Cinnamon roast.
Did a tour of duty with siduction razorQT.
I *could* roast my own for my avatar's namesake, like HintoOS as you suggested. I came up with Hinto as in hint-o-mint. My host was named julep (of course)

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
Hinto,
we forgot one DE (sorry guys), that's LXDE. To make things interesting, you can make it Knoppix-like and use Compiz as WM inside of LXDE (just need to start "compiz -cpp" through LXDE's session manager instead of Openbox) We had a test release those days and it was a pleasant experience. You could start off with the Openbox Saltimbocca, add a Display Manager (LightDM), the lxde package, compiz, compiz-gtk, compiz-plugins, compiz-fusion-plugins-* and compizconfig-backend-gconf. Of course LXDE is optional, but recommended because it comes with session manager and all comfortable stuff.
And about Cinnamon: I did it last week, it does work, but it feels a bit laggy. Very similar to LinuxMint's original. And you need to add python-imaging, it's missing from the dependencies (I already reported the bug in Debian)
Facepalm edit: Of course there's another DE (sorry the Second), that's e17/enlightment. Personally, I'm not a big fan of it - it literally causes me headache. I found the fonts to be too small and the customization options too confusing (personally, I like to edit config files and not browse through windows, tabs and drop-down menus). YMMV

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
Been down the LXDE path with siduction and peppermintOS.
I usually ended up using XFCE's WM with it.
Snagged the Base (and a Special Edition) for XFCE 64 bit...
You know, since it's Debian, it's all a base ;)
It can morph at will.
Thanks for the info.

I thought of this post today while I was perusing the CrunchBang forums. You made a post there something to the effect that you wouldn't venture into the wild side. ;-)hinto wrote:Grabbing an iso ;)

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
^ that seems weird. Hinto always seemed to me exactly the type of person to venture into the wild side. #! was way to safe for the likes of him :)

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
Yeah, thought the same. hinto is an old Linux-hand ;) And surely not the first time for him to run sid...

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
I started with Kanotix when it was based on SID (and Knoppix).
Then sidux, aptosid, siduction, and #! tracking siduction.
In between, I've run OpenSuse, OpenSolaris, RHEL, LMDE, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu. All installed on bare metal and for daily use.
I currently am running Fuduntu, #! (tracking siduction), PearOS, Mint 13 (KDE), and soon LinuxBBQ (when I sort out wireless) on 4 different boxes.
I started, I suppose around 2003 with 0, nada, nil experience (except some in college) in *nix. I needed a 64-bit non-Windows development environment to write C/C++ (for CORBA) at my company. I had a bus error dereferencing a int* (or was it a long*) on AIX. It was a copy/paste bug that didn't get found until very late in the release cycle, since most of the testing (by the testing group) was done on Windows. 3 other things that popped up were mixed case, '/' vs '\' and ActiveDirectory vs /etc/passwd.
This was the "perfect storm" that through me in to Linux land.
Now I run a linux host, and a Win7 vm for the Windows/Mac app that I write. (of course the Mac portion is on the Mac)
@KrunchTime Wonder what the post was? I'm always ripping the warranty sticker off ;)

Re: Succumbing to the peer pressure....
@Hinto: about that wireless... could you do us a big favor and test the new Kielbasa RC2, and let us know if your wireless works out of the box? http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?p=600#p600

Someone altered my post and I'm not happy about it.
@Hinto: I'll PM you on the "another" distro's forums if I can locate the post I referred to.

One moment! Nobody can "alter" your post - or do you want to say that I did it?

Where? The only thing I edited was adding "solved" to a completely other post of a completely other user. If you mean the word censoring, that's automatic, by the forums software. Need a screenshot too?
