Use latest version of azureus.
Azureus does not require installion of any kind. its click & run.
Download it from its Home page.
you just have to create a menu for it.

for menu creation
Press ALT+F2 & type

Code:

alacarte

Right now its no use upgrading to gutsy,
You should try Ubuntu 8.04(LTS), it comes with 3yrs supports.
install hardy when its released then you don't have to upgrade every 6 months.

MetalheadGautham · Feb 13, 2008

^^I kno that. I have my Class XI Boards soon, and its pointless upgrading to gutsy now. No potential use, as april is not that far off and my comp usage will also be minimal.

But I intend to upgrade to the LTS release as soon as it is out.

In the meanwhile, I am thinking of also setting up a manually configured debian system. One that has all of ubuntu's features, plus some thing more, lots of eye candy, etc but starting with Debian as base.

I am still waiting for debian's next version to come out though. Is fedora 8 worth checking out ? It also is a family head like debian(lots of derivatives).

meanwhile, here is what happens when I follow the instructions in the ubuntu help to install compiz:
*help.ubuntu.com/community/Composit...head-1447dbabe59744a63cad770f4d2143fb45cb4aad

Once I try to run ccsm(compiz settings manager) by alt+f2 then ccsm(or even go via system>>>preferences, It fails to start. Terminal found this message:

Code:

gautham@Gautham-Linux:~$ ccsm

ok, I got something from my kubuntu kde repos. so thanks but no thanks.

can someone please tell me how I can completely undo my xubuntu install ? after

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

I am not at all satisfied with it. but when I

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop

only 41 kb of disc space is going to be freed, according to apt-get. So I did not do it.

so keep the xfce and lib prefixed names and remove other apps in the list,

Btw Thunder bird is not by default in Ubuntu.

There is no clever method than manually editing the list and running it.

I have installed Kubuntu desktop using the list and manually adding/deleting entries

for the same reason I save the output, as seen in a post on page 5 or 6, but this time, I didn't copy the upper portion

just try and see, Apt-get is chatter so it will tell you what packages are going to be removed.

I know about KDE-Look, but like gnome look, it sucks in recomending themes.
there is no editor's review, so I can't try to pick the best themes.
the ones with top ratings often suck.
and the good ones get low ratings.
mac4lin for example, scores 77% while it should have been 95%.
