Some light Linux/BDS desktop

I liked gentoo's live Cd but it just didnt install on my old system, it used to get stuck on the partioning(it was gentoo 2006), havent tried it recently though.
@Fox34 the green colour used for "My Guide" in your siggy is just to unreadable. Green is totally unreadable on light backgrounds.

yea Gentoo, no just no lol. Your looking at, for ease of use for your first distro, u want, Ubuntu, Linspire, or Debian. Even openSUSE. Check those out and see how it goes.

Don't forget Fedora. Also a quite easy to use distro.

Fedora was my first venture into Linux. +1 for Fedora.

j0 all, Linux is officially teh win! I love every single bit about it! It feels like I'm actually using and understanding the very complex machine a computer is. There are some troubles and stuff I can't figure out, but the past few days I've done nothing than toying around with everything, and it's really fun! There's no end to the possibilities! Also, as my machine isn't that powerful I try to use the console as much as possible. Fun, fun, fun!

However, there's one thing I can't find out how to do: Remove "shortcuts" from the applications menu. I found something about right-clicking -> edit menu, but that brings up a window with nothing in it save something to do with the quit-command and something about the xfce-helpfile. Anyone knows anything? Because I don't like that Wine puts everything in there.

Select remove from panel.

I don't have that option. And right-clinking on the icons themselves opens the programs.

But I got it anyway. /home/.local/share and there I had some stuff. Not it's cleaner once more.

gnome-look.org for themes . Works on XCFE too.

also kde-look.org, seriously best site ever. But I +1 for fedora, its very very powerfull. Based strictly out of redhat but open source its great. Heck the TPU servers run off of fedora 8
