thanks shirish

i feel immense pride to announce that since ver.0.2 was up for download yester afternoon, 1.3GB of data has been served (the total size of the pack is about 28MB, so quite a lot haf downloaded). the combined download for the project (which includes ver.0.2 as well as ver0.1alpha) has crossed the 8.0GB mark

edit: is there a default gnome version of sabayon?

 

[mehulved]

Sabayon DVD includes GNOME not the CD.
But, if we can get it in sabayon overlay, it will be available to any sabayon/gentoo user just by adding that overlay.

 

[infra_red_dude]

ok, thats good news

 

[infra_red_dude]

folks, yester the SF.net servers hosting the Mac4Lin project were excessively bombarded wid download requests! 19th Sept. 2007 witnessed the highest ever number of downloads on a single day - 386 and the total data served on a single day was 4GB!!!!! it has broken all records!

i've been observing an average of almost 1GB download per day. happy to see ppl making use of this project combined downloads haf been about 1600 and a total of 13.2GB of data has been served till date. makes me really happy

I'm working on version 0.3 of Mac4Lin. Expect a release in under 10 dayz. Keep checking this thread/project website.

 

[infra_red_dude]

Need some help from you guys. Can those of you who haf Gusty (any tribe/RC whatever) test Mac4Lin 0.2 and tell me if its working or not. If its not then what is not working etc. Feedback would help me better the ver0.3 of Mac4Lin.

 

[hellknight]

congrats infra red dude, that's cool! Keep on the good work.

 

[praka123]

@infra:ur thread on ubuntuforums.org runs to 11 pages Thumbs Up!Is there some one associating with u from ubuntuforum or from outside.

 

[vish786]

their could be anyone just disguised

 

[infra_red_dude]

None as of now but one guy there, buu700 said he'd like to contribute

 

[infra_red_dude]

Guys I really need your help. Many users said that the icon theme doesn't work in Gusty due to GNOME 2.20. In fact all the themes which were for prev. version of GNOME do work fully in Gusty. Nobody has given me the exact details of the problem.

Can any of you who haf Gusty (or any distro with GNOME 2.20) installed, try only the Mac4Lin Icon pack and temme what and where the problem is? Thing is, I can't install Gusty at the moment. I wanna do a clean install but haf lotsa important things scattered on my HDD so no formatting for me now.

 

[vignesh]

Cool dude.. downloading it now...

Mac4Lin version 0.3 Released!

24th October 2007

Mac4Lin is back! A new version, more changes, better looks and an overall more polished product. Please read changelog for information of changes in this version. It gives me immense pleasure to inform all that downloads have crossed 110 GB till date!

Mac4Lin now comes with a unified documentation in PDF format. Please go through this for illustrated installation instructions. Also some entities like GTK theme/Pidgin etc. now include two versions. Hence individual README files are only included if there is any need to convey release specific important information to the user which the generic documentation does not include. Read the README file for more details, in such cases.

With the release of GNOME 2.20, there have been issues reported with the Icon theme. Work is going on to make the theme compatible with GNOME 2.20 (found in OpenSUSE 10.3/Ubuntu 7.10 - Gusty etc.). There will be a separate release of Icon theme for GNOME 2.20. Users of this version can replace the original ver.0.3 Icon theme with the new one, which will be released soon after this release. GNOME version can be checked by clicking System Menu > About GNOME. Other components of this package are reported to work with GNOME 2.20. The installation of GTK Metacity theme and Cursors is almost same execpt that the Theme Manager in GNOME 2.20 has a new look.

Thanks to Victor Hugo Casals for the Safari skin, M.Lettner for the panel backgrounds, Calande for the font guide, Mitko for nm-applet icons, Vish for Grub and Buu700 for Usplash screens. I also thank all those who tested the pack and everyone who are directly or indirectly involved in this project.

Apply it, flaunt it, enjoy it!
