Debian Gnome + Beryl “3D-Desktop”


Debian GNU/Linux with Gnome Desktop running Beryl/AIGLX for 3D desktop effects. Debian version was “etch” (“testing” at that time). System: AMD64 3500+, 1024 DDR2-400, Geforce 6600GT (but it runs on very old machines, try it out) You can get all themes, styles, icons etc. on gnome-look dot org. The dockbar at the top is part of “gDesklets” (available on official repositories). On gnome-look dot org, search for… “dragon” (wallpaper) “glassy” (icon set) “dark” (color theme, I don’t remeber the exact name) You can install everything with the default gnome theme manager. There are a lot of users posting “this is ubuntu” – it’s not! The menu icon was part of the default ubuntu icon set I installed before (the new “glassy” icon set does not replace the menu button).

Lots of projects spend money and man hours sending representatives to events like SouthEast LinuxFest (SELF), and Texas Linux Fest , but is it really doing any good? This week I’ve been working on finding volunteers to help with the GNOME booth at SouthEast LinuxFest in June
