KDE VS Gnome..

^^ It's a LIVE DVD.... not CD.... I thought they launched that mini suse thing....

But you can create a live CD, I thought he created one or got one somewhere....

No.a live CD it was.i d/l from somewhere in kde.org not from opensuse.org
edit:link for download:
*home.kde.org/~binner/kde-four-live/

GNome for its uncluttered looks, KDE for functionality

However KDE 4 is also low on clutter, & finally new icons.

yups , sad that KDE 4 is far away .

I like kde for its customizing ability and xfce for its unbelievable lightness and eye candy(eg Dream Linux)
Both kde and gnom are bloated nowadays..

I dont find GNOME bloated anywhere

I tried it for an idea on new dolphin file manager

Mint Linux "Bianca" KDE Edition has very cool menu. It also has Dolphin as technology preview. And Linux Mint 3.0 Gnome too has very cool menu. Check the screenshot here: *linuxmint.com/screenshots.html . Is it possible to get same menu style in ubuntu?

 

[praka123]

yeah.u may customize with themes if available.
*gnome-look.org is a good one to start/

 

[amitava82]

no, not the theme. I'm talking about the menu.

[praka123]

hmm..that seems a special menu package :8

 

[aditya.shevade]

I have been wondering about the same thing... Customizing the menu to my needs.... Any idea how to do that without getting into changing the source code?

This comes from Suse AFAIK. There's a tutorial on how to install it on ubuntu, too. But, I am not so aware. You will have to search around on the net.

 

[praka123]

that menu will be a seperate package and may be found in mint repositories?
wait..is it called mintMenu ?

may be u need to add mint repository to get that installed on Ubuntu feisty
*www.linuxmint.com/repository/
u can try adding this one below if it is there.

[amitava82]

Cool.. I'll check it out. Thanks for the info.

 

[praka123]

if its not available,apt-get install gnome-main-menu

 

[amitava82]

got it. Add this source:
deb *www.linuxmint.com/repository cassandra/
then update and install mintmenu

 

[amitava82]

I just downloaded Mint KDE Edition and I LOVE IT. Dolphin is very cool. After backing up Ubuntu I'm going to install it. Can't wait till KDE4...
