    Yes. What's your point? It wasn't an insult. I said it was cute.
    I't makes me happy when people try out another OS.

    Blind loyalty to any product or platform is very limiting
    (see: Mac fags).

    Good luck.

    Yeah you set that in the KDE control centre, look for multiple desktops you can have any number up to 10, by default, although most users only ever use one or two, and if I remember correctly KDE defaults to 4.

    lestiff (mwm) is settable in the system.mwmrc file, which is the system wide config file for it, or you can set it in a .mwmrc file in your $HOME.

    Gnome is changable, although I haven't used it in a long time so I can't remember how. In fact I think most of them are changeable with the possible exception of twm... and we'll not talk about twm if it's alright with you

    I really don't get the attraction of the cube, as far as I can see it's just eye candy.

    That's the point, mate. Some people want to get their feet wet, and would like the eye candy of Windows Vista; without the inherent problems involved with running that OS.

    To each their own.

    The attraction is that its innovative and people go "ooh" and "ahh" upon seeing it. Most of which are Windows users.

    I'm a linux newbie myself and I admit one of the big reasons i tried out ubuntu a week ago is because of the cube effects. A week later, I've disabled the effects yet made Linux my permanent home.

    Vista has eye candy??? Well maybe if you have a high-end PC, then you'll enjoy its memory-hogging crappy 3D effects.


    For me, the great thing about Linux, specifically Ubuntu, is that it works flawlessly (including that 3D thing - Beryl/Compiz) in my old Pentium III PC... Can M$ Windows do that? No.

    I swore never to use Linux again, at least until a former member of this forum returns
    (shn...you could of been the love of my life).

    True story.

    Sorry, I forgot to put a smiley face in the end of my sentence.

    Why are you so defensive. I've already stated that fact.

    Ah! That's good I like that. Getting people to at least try and see if it's any good for them is as good a reason as I can think of, thank you.

    Thanks for that.
