Linux Users Club

[WACKYANIMATION]

This is a place for people to talk about their experiences with Linux (good or bad), Q/A, People interested in trying it out, and its applications.

We follow the BBS rules just as any other thread.

If you have a problem:
Tell us your Distribution and version (eg. "Ubuntu 8.04 64bit", or "Gentoo 2008.0" )
Explain your problem with some detail. If you get an error message, tell us what it says.
And hopefully someone will be able to help out. If not, don't be afraid to Google your question. Community forums such as the Ubuntu forums can help a lot if you fail to get a helping answer here.

Enjoy!

I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit and vista 64. I don't use virtual machines because I find it a waste of time.

GNOME with Kiba Dock (OS X dock look-a-like)

Its a fairly simple setup. I suppose it is somewhat like a mix between windows and mac in layout.
I do have Flash 8 installed though wine, but it was a bit difficult to figure out.

I'm not an avid Linux users but I've been bouncing around *NIX systems for over a year now. I started off with Mandrake and later PC-BSD and then Ubuntu 6.06.

At the moment I'm using Kubuntu 7.04 but I'm regretting my decision just 'cause its KDE and super glitchy. I really liked the stability of 6.06.

That Kiba dock is pretty sexy too, does it come as a port?

Also, Wine eats the dicks.

Im not too sure what you mean by a port, but if you mean its made for windows, then no. Kiba Dock is made for linux and can be used as a dominate window/menu toolbar. I did have to compile it to get it working on 64 bit but that was easy enough. It also allows you to insert GNOME and KDE panel items.

Oh, nvm. I guess Linux doesn't call them ports. Basically the apt-get install function.

Yea of course they do. Im not too sure on how much you know of linux, but you can check out the wiki on the kiba site

To check out kiba-dock from the Sourceforge server run:

svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svn root/kibadock/trunk kiba

You will find all kiba related Software in the kiba Directory.

I'm so in

[ZiggyZack99]

I use SuSE Linux with KDE3. It's superawesomesexyfast.

[RageOfOrder]

Currently Sabayon Linux 3.5 Loop2 Beta on the desktop, 3.4f on the laptop
Laptop dual boots Slackware 12, desktop dual boots Windows XP (I still use it for... uhh.... something? I think?)

I started on Gentoo in August 2006 and used it for a year before moving to Sabayon.

I've also dabbled with SuSe and Arch, under emulation only though.

At this point the only reason I have windows installed is because i have a zune. I don't dislike windows, but I do find it a burden sometimes. It also would be great if Adobe had more support for it, but I dislike the CS3 line so I am fine with running 8.
