That Gnome iso was a bust as thought it would be! Just got done messing with Slax7 and of course when I mean done, no longer works!!! I just got the desktop set with my wallpaper after installing my drivers for wireless. I then went on KDE and downloaded some window decoration and next thing I know CRRRAAASH! Well won't come back now! Guess can say Slax slacked off!! LOL! Just figured would get it looking kind of nice, install java, try for Chrome and be done with it. But all ended at looking nice! Would not take a new password but did take my username! Strange little system it is! Shortest lived one for me also! Was up maybe 2 hours max and bam dead duck now! Goes through the motions get the KDE gearbox then black screen and nothing! Holds settings yes, but just can't stand up to anything much at all! Yes maybe will try another as am desperate to have something unique instead of what everyone else is using in school! Love the quick and accurate response in Linux! Yeah Zan that Snow is terrible with that desktop switching in VBOX, just wants to keep switching!!! Drive your eyes crazy!!! Took me 5 minutes to shut that switching off cause every flinch of the cursor kept switching it!!! Once you get out of that is halfway decent, but is a tricky devil and would never leave it in charge of anything important!!!! This is why Ultimate is the only in charge here! The combo of KDE and Gnome is one match no OS can beat!!! If it weren't for the side to side deal in their menu could handle it a little easier! Least I have the benefits of Gnome with the best looking desktop ever!!! Then I have the KDE utilities that make up for some Gnome utilities that can't do certain jobs!!!! Is one great match! Will take advice on a small ubuntu type. Hoping can find one with Gnome, get my basic utilities for school and be able to use it! One thing I haven't tried is still have 3.4 on disk, maybe that one will save stuff? Wish someone could tell me!!! Would much rather be carrying around Ultimate than some other buggy system! I guess am getting a little prejudicial now, am sorry is just Ultimate is like TheeMahn says "It just works!" Sure get a charge out of his words! Is down to earth and someone would love to meet one day!!! He is a true inspiration to me when things get tough at school! I just think have to keep going so one day, I can be at least half as brilliant as TheeMahn!!! Always best wishes TheeMahn and crew! Whatever you like and enjoy the most, I hope and pray is always there for you!!!!
