  1. Re:The new UI looks like an attempt to emulate Uni on Mandriva 2011 Out · · Score: 1

    well its there but its off of the disk impression that it left with me is this is something ON TOP of the windowing system, fuck they didnt even bother to try and match the colors, so you in this baby vomit blue enviroment and BAM here is a full screen black window, click on something and its light blue again.

    what are they trying to give me a seizure with the contrast flashing or are they really being that shitty on a release?

    VIrtual Box, which I have nothing but issues out of whenever I stick a copy of windows on it

  7. I tried it on Mandriva 2011 Out · · Score: 1

    seems OK for a desktop and I will agree KDE has cleaned up quite a bit though its still a little awkward at times. The Mandriva default theme is all over the place, the defaults for the windows are light and bright, the panels are dark. The application launcher is fucking huge, as in entire screen huge, with icons the size of a coin. That is not welcome!

    I will install it for real, just when I have some time to fart with the umpteen-thousand theme options, which is a tad disappointing for a "easy to use release". Default it not broken, its just ugly and jarring. The rest depends on their package manager and time.

    no it doesn't, it shows 2 themes on the parent link, the dark them is what you see in your link

    I have similar experiences, but I am downloading it and giving it a spin on the ol VM just to look. I do not want to waste my time rebooting if something strikes me on first impressions

    but OMG that might be a 30 watt system, think of the electricity!

    I run a 60 watt P3 pizza box compaq with a big ass drive, it plugs into the light socket in my closet hehe, so I have not had the privilege of sitting down and really messing with some of the bigger ARM chips. Most people make it out to be not that horrid, then again those same people might recompile their kernel just for fun so who knows

    yes a 300 watt PC sitting idol most of its time uses more power than a 220 watt PC sitting idol most of its time

    why run a PC for a home server? you can get a single chip arm system for half the cost of a cheap PC and its going to take care of your strenuous home needs no problem while drawing what 4 watts

    it still runs fine

    heck even IF no one even heard of those companies before it would still work fine with generic drivers, this just cuts out 3d support, which as we all know is a major part of the linux desktop life, especially for pci machines
