George Bush U2 Mashup
First impressions of Fedora Core 5
A few months back I switched from Ubuntu Breezy to Fedora Core 4 on my Compaq Armada E500 1GHz notebook because of the support for my Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS pcmcia sound card. I was a bit nervous about putting Fedora Core 5 on my system after having spent weeks, a bit at a time, getting things "just right." But after reading some of the benefits of Fedora Core 5, faster load times for Gnome Terminal, Xen, improved UI, I started getting the itch to install it.
Success with Gentoo on Sun UltraSparc II
Between 10:30pm and some time this morning I managed to get a functional copy of Gentoo installed on my Sun Ultra II. Why Gentoo? My first choice was Solaris 9, but it took forever to install and ran like a snail trying to navigate a pothole. Part of that fault lay with the fact that my Ultra's CPU is only 200MHz and it only has the minimum RAM 128. The RAM is of course proprietary, so I won't be adding SDRAM anytime soon.

I didn't bother changing much theme-wise, but I found this really excellent background image of an Alien which goes really well with lighter themes. The only problem is the ugly logo in the top right, but that's easily gimped out!

I decided to start uploading some screen shots on a semi-regular basis. Most of the themes you'll see will be cominations of different backgrounds and various Gnome/Gtk special effects: Window borders, application themes, and icons. Normally I like minimalism, but today's screenshot (background) is somewhat flashy. I've always liked Mac OS, and there are elements of Mac OS in this theme. Unfortunately I cannot show the Gnome Display Manager, on which I have a really slick silver Linux theme. Most of the stuff pilfered from: art.gnome.org.
