damn, Mint is too big for my CD's -.-
What good distros are there under 700mb?

Edited:

heh automerge :D

and....what?
You made that clock using GIMP?
But it updates, right?

Just get the Arch core image and install what YOU NEED.

At this point, i'd rather not - i've heard a lot about how hard it is to set up Arch.

While i'm here though, how can I set this graph to have a Y-axis of 3000kb/s?

Code:

${downspeedgraph eth0}

using Conky, obv.

It's not hard AT ALL.

Just follow that guide exactly. I say 2 hours and you'll have a workable setup running.

Yeah, I made the LCD background and glass as two images, before merging them. The clock's numbers are Conky, so it updates the time in 1 second intervals. I also displayed the time twice, to get the LCD's shadow effect.

**SataniX** · 1st July 2011

ah, I see.
Do you have two seperate conky processes running there?

Nope. Let me package my script so you can take a look. :3

Too bad that it wasn't updated for 944 days and it's still running the 2.4 kernel.

You should check out SliTaz and Puppy Linux.

LCD · 1st July 2011

Forget Puppy. It's frustrating and annoying to use.

**LieutenantLeo** · 1st July 2011

Ok, I customized my Ubuntu a bit finally. It's Ubuntu 11.04 with Atolm theme and AwOkenDark icons.

Anything else I should add that would go with this?

This takes up a lot of CPU. I'm switching back to a default one.

but you can pretty much just hold down enter for the actual install. After that it's up to selecting what you want on your system then waiting a bit.

Edited:

of course you'll have to do whatever configuration your various packages require (copying/generating config scripts, things like that) and get a wireless daemon working if you're on a laptop, but it's a really snappy system once you've got it going.

Install mint without the extra shit, it will fit on a CD.

Haven't posted for a while, so here goes:
My main desktop:

I downloaded the revelation script from the Awesome wiki. For those who don't know what revelation is, it has the same functionality as Compiz fusion's expo and OSX' Exposé. I really liked it, but I hated not being able to interact with it using the mouse. The only thing I could do was use the arrow keys and press enter to select a window and escape to exit the revelation. So I edited the script.
Here's it in action:

In this screenshot I have two windows open in total. I was in the train and my internet wasn't working, hence the "web page is not available". To the revelation script I added the following features:
- Select a window by left clicking it
- Close a window by right clicking it (very useful when you have a lot of windows open)
- Enable mouse input in windows with middle mouse button (the idea was that you could copy and paste things, didn't work out that well)

On a sidenote: the libreoffice document that is currently open in the screenshot is my maths homework. Libreoffice writer is quite awesome with maths. Combine it with Inkscape for graphs and you're set!

My scripts!

Crunchbang with Faenza:

**FPtje** · 5th July 2011

I always found Faenza to be way too square. It looks good though.

I think this install of Arch will stop my distro hopping.

Installed it just last night, still tweaking.

**ASmellyOgre** · 7th July 2011

I just need to get some more information, and better formatted in the top right corner.

**snuwoods** · 13th July 2011

dwm was fun for a while.
that was also around the time when I thought gentoo was fun.
those days are long gone, for me.

Well I'm using "lime" from the Artwiz collection, and it looks like kraffslol is using the same one.

Not just that, he pretends to be women and fantasizes about killing people only to blend them into smoothies and feed them to sex slaves. Overall he's a pleasant guy.
