Arch Linux Rocks! Just installed it on an ext3 FS, and I am loving this. I forgot how awesome Arch's 'implementation' (just vanilla KDE4!) is soooo good! KDE4 has finally made a believer out of me. Official: KDE4 > GNOME! Although, I refuse to use anything except network manager. It's so awesome. Never gives me 1 bit of trouble. The only thing i dislike about Arch is the fonts. The Arch Wiki has a good setup on this but for some reason or other they always look worse than *buntu. Any ideas? Anyways, ext3 is really good. I like it more than ext4. it's just so stable. Pacman -Syy is blazing fast with this. Now, to figure out fbsplash on this netbook...

I'll spend the better years of my life construction a female version of the T-800.
Commiserations. Terrible for you.

What distro will her brain use? I am assuming she will have a built-in hard-drive. Will it use reiserfs or ext4?

Google Chrome was suprisingly difficult to obtain. I got just a wee taste of what Slackware users face. It was kinda fun, tough, I hate to admit.

Kwin's wobbly windows are sub-par though. I know; it's a default WM, but if it can be put under the title of compositing, it should have at least an average wobbly window feature. And I edited the plasmarc so I could put different wallpapers on each workspace, and *()* *#$#. WARNING: your system becomes unbearably unstable. I can understand why that isn't implemented quite yet. It's still buggy. Google Chrome runs exteremely fast. Still the fastest browser out there. It's also more stable on Arch than on the *debians*, albeit it's target. I think it's because it doesn't have to worry about tying in with all those GTK libraries.

Wondering why I have a bright red selection rectangle in Thunar windows, when it's a translucent blue on the desktop...

Wondering how "wobbly windows" can be considered a 'feature' of anything, and figuring on going to have a nap.

I personally don't use Wobbly Windows, but I don't think eye candy's a bad thing, either — unless, of course, it gets in the way. That's what ccsm is there for, dontcha know?


Besides, hardware compositing offloads a lot of the window drawing to the GPU, leaving the CPU to do more important things...
