    Based off the screenshots, the desktop looks to me like a bloody faceprint on a cave wall.

    Or is it significant of "Bang Head Here" when configuration works like 8.04?

  3. The biggest most awesome change in Intrepid!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    You know that GTK bug where if your mouse cursor is on a button and the button becomes greyed out so you can't click it and then it becomes normal again but your mouse cursor has been in it the whole time but now you can't click the button even though it's normal now so you have to move your mouse pointer OUT of the button and then back into it again to get the button to work? You know that bug? The one that makes you want to rip out your hair and scream?

    Well it's fixed. Whoever is the awesome person who fixed that is my hero. Someone give that person a fucking cookie.

    I didn't do a LiveCD because I did not overwrite my Windows partition, just tried to install on a separate partition

    As a quick test (nobody answer for him), how did you do the install without booting the LiveCD?

    Maybe in and around its burrows, in the rocky crags of the southern plains, approximately 60Km from the western shore.
