ichase Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Nice looking desktop Abarbarian. Keep saying I am going to try Window Maker. Now that I just did a fresh install of Arch Linux, seems like it would be a good time with everything working so well at the moment. In celebration of the EXTREME cold and the projected 4 to 7 inches of snow expected, I changed things from Red to Blue. http://i.imgur.com/qCxg2wc.png 1 Quote
ebrke Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I've moved to PCLinuxOS after spending about 6 months using Ubuntu mostly. The St-Paul island is about 20 miles from where this picture was taken. We used to go cod fishing there. In about a month you could see seals on the ice; I should not have looked at this today (record-breaking cold weather where I am). Lovely picture though. 1 Quote
ichase Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Nice looking desktop ebrke. I dabbled with PCLinuxOS at the beginning of my transition to Linux, a very nice OS no doubt. Love the background you selected for your desktop. Quote

Reminds me of SB except with a touch of colour If you try WM I can give you a link to some good extra themes,until you design your own. Quote

Love the background you selected for your desktop. No, this isn't mine. It's a late reply to Rejean's post of a week or so ago--it's his desktop. I just got to this thread and then was a little sorry I looked at it on such a cold day (made me think of my backyard!). :'( 1 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Well, since Florida is actually getting a bit too crowded for my tastes, I'll tell you what I tell other northern folks... Southern California's weather is just as nice as Florida's and they don't get hurricanes. Quote
securitybreach Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Winter in Florida... Speaking of.... I looked up what Daytona's weather was like today and it was 76. Man I miss Daytona's weather. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Don't jump into the water just yet... Daytona will wake up Thursday morning with a temperature of 35F... and 33F on Friday morning. 1 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 To get back on topic, though... Since we're forecast for 39F on Thuirsday morning and 32F on Friday morning, I figured a cozy desktop is called for... 1 Quote
zlim Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 39° ( between 3° and 4° C ) sounds wonderful. It went up to 23° (-5) yesterday and it felt like a heat wave to us. Tonight's low -3° (-19° C). I don't know what I mind more, the snow or the cold. :'( Quote

Southern California's weather is just as nice as Florida's and they don't get hurricanes. But unfortunately it's starting to look as though it's not a good place to be unless you've figured out how to do without water. 1 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 But unfortunately it's starting to look as though it's not a good place to be unless you've figured out how to do without water. Boston should ship their snow to Southern CA. 2 Quote
réjean Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Here is a little water for you ebrke.about same distance as the previous picture but this one in the other direction; This is in OpenSuSE 13.2 I think KDE. Edited February 19, 2015 by réjean 2 Quote
zlim Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Beautiful, as long as I am inside where it is warm and looking out a window. 3 Quote
réjean Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I have to share this one taken in Sydney N.S. about 100 km South of here; Edited February 22, 2015 by réjean Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Can you spot what's wrong with this desktop? 1 Quote
réjean Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Not sure about yours but I realized that I didn't upload the right picture unto imgbox and that wasn't a snapshot of my desktop but the picture that I chose to put on my desktop. Here is the real one; as you can see I am still in OpenSuSE. Edited February 23, 2015 by réjean 1 Quote
ebrke Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) . . . as you can see I am still in OpenSuSE. I think we may be the only ones left on the forum. My cyber needs are simple, and I've been with SuSE for over 10 years. You're making me feel cold again Rejean, but it's a great picture! Edited February 23, 2015 by ebrke Quote
zlim Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Is there a live version? I have someone who might want to try it out. My memory isn't what it used to be. I do have an old Live Eval CD or DVD SUSE v. 7.2. I might have gotten it with a Linux Mag I purchased. I think I tried it and had problems. Of course my hardware wasn't great. Quote
ebrke Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Here's a link to the page with various download options: http://software.opensuse.org/132/en Just a note--I've found that, for a permanent installation, the network install method works well as long as there's a wired network connection available. You burn a startup disk to cd, then everything required is downloaded during install process. 1 Quote
abarbarian Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Can you spot what's wrong with this desktop? That IE icon is just so wrong 1 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Can you spot what's wrong with this desktop? That IE icon is just so wrong AHA! You are the winner! Yes, and it's not just the IE icon, but Outlook Express, CMD, and WIndows Explorer icons, too. Everything is back to normal now... Quote
securitybreach Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I figured you were referring to how cold it is now. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 I figured you were referring to how cold it is now. I figure you of all folks here would catch those Windows icons right away. 1 Quote
