I think this shows Windows in its proper context (it makes a GREAT printer driver, FYI).

If you install and configure samba on the Linux host, then the Windows VM can see the host as a server, and can copy and save files from the Linux system. This way, if you have special Windows proprietary software, or a printer that is not supported in Linux, you just jump over to Windows and copy the document and send it to the Lexmark or Canon or whatever.

Somewhat finished (*) Gentoo 64-bit install, using kernel 3.0.6 and KDE 4.6.5. The wallpaper shows a minor train station near my parents' place.




(*) I will probably realise that I still need some progs later on (once I want to start them and think like, "Oh forgot to emerge that one") and I still need to adapt the ACLs of my data partition to be able to access it without Gentoo acting like a d**k.

nice screen. i actually learned FreeBSD before Linux about 12 years ago. That was when it took days of research to get your videocard to work so you could have KDE

anyway, do you use it mainly as a desktop or something else?

Played Doom 3, Serious Sam first and second encounters, Quake 1 x64, and Quake 2. Games work great.


Installed Wine and run Delphi 7. Programming and compiling work perfect

Let's revive this thread a little.

A fresh install of Gentoo X86_64, using Linux 3.3.8 and KDE 4.9 with some desktop and icon themes and an adjusted colur scheme.





------------------------------------------------------

Interesting how well FF looks with this colour scheme. TBH I feared the worst but it came out pretty nicely.




-------------------------------------------------

Clementine looks nice this way.

Tried to install Slitaz on the netbook in sig. Had some issues (couldn't boot from HDD and WLAN didn't work), so I'm downloading Lubuntu now. Which is sad, because the live version is very likeble.

Did you install the GRUB or LiLo bootloader correctly to the MBR? Selecting the device path /dev/sda (without anything behind that) should work.
