Ubuntu + Beryl
Guys, I have Ubuntu + Beryl installed on my system and it kicks ass. It does have the terminal which is pretty much like a more advanced installation program, almost like registry for windows but more along the lines of a command line style.
Vista sucks big, fat, hairy, monkey balls. If you just take a look at the system requirements on it they went ridiculously out of hand and it takes up a bit of space on your hard drive. So why spend hundreds of dollars on it when Ubuntu + Beryl are so much more bad ass and it's free? So, if you want to look at some videos on it take a look at my link in my sig. It comes in 32-bit and 64-bit. It looks like it would be a bit tasking, but it really is not. If you want to try it out I suggest you partition your drive using the ubuntu cd, you can download it straight from ubuntu.com or you can request a cd in the mail for free as well. A really good feature of ubuntu is that it runs the OS straight off the cd first so you can try it out and see if you like it. Then you can begin installing it by clicking on install on the desktop. While it's installing you can get on the internet! It automatically configures your internet connection from the cd... it's so bad ass, so you can go on here even when you're installing it if you wanted to. |
Heh, the terminal really isn't anything like the windows registry assuming Linux hasn't changed unrecognizably over the past year or so.
What is Beryl, exactly, if you don't mind me asking? |
I know, I was just trying to relate it to windows in some way lol. Now beryl is what gives it awesome effects. like burning the window, wobbly windows, the infamous desktop cube and so on.

It is it's own window manager. It's so bad ass, look at the video if you can, I'm at work hence why I posted this I'm bored as shit.
|
it runs the desktop in OpenGL mode, in the same way that vista uses that aero shit to run it in DirectX. it's a bloatware technology that nobody in the world actually needs
|
Nobody needs it, but it looks awesome.
|
that is why we have global warming
|
Yes, we have global fucking warming because of an OS. Stick to the topic lol.

I believe he is refering to wastefull "cool things" in general.
|
It's all about presentation. I'd love to work on one of those *nix boxes just because the whole 3d concept sounds amazing.
|
Ubuntu = I can't handle a REAL version of Linux.
|
Haha, it's pretty user-friendly, I'm not into Linux as much as a bunch of my friends and they told me about Ubuntu. The Linux kernel is so damn good. All the programs load so fast and smoothe unlike windows.
|
Ah.. I am just messin with you... I am very sarcastic.
|
Josh, you've actually convinced me to download Ubuntu + Beryl. If I need any assistance, would it be alright if I instant messaged you?
|
What is this Ubuntu + Beryl? And if it kicks so much ass, is there a mac version?
|
Did you know that in your sig, the white is transparent unless you're using IE6 or lower? That makes it black on very dark color on Synthesis.
|
Im too retarded to fuck with this.
My laptop is too important to me haha if i messed something up just to have some snazzy features id kick my own ass. |
How do you get ubuntu?
