Russian Eggplant
I cooked this tonight. Highly recommended.
Beryl-Themes.org
Beryl-Themes.org Lots of good stuff here.
After getting used to Beryl at home, I truly HATE working on my XP desktop when I’m in the office. I’ve spent quite a while working with classic asp, and am working more and more in .net, but I would likely drop it all for open source languages if I could set up my own rig at work.
My current work desktop has dual processors and dual monitors, but now it feels like I’m playing old school Atari when I have a next gen box at home. It is plenty fast…I just miss all all the niceties I’ve gotten used to with Beryl and KDE.
LinuxMCE returns – Download Squad
LinuxMCE returns – Download Squad
LinuxMCE sounds promising. When I tried to get MythTV installed on Fedora (core 4 or 5, i don’t recall) I spent most of my time fighting to get hardware recognized and working… I finally got everything working after a few weeks just to wipe it clean and install win XP so I could play iNinja. I haven’t tried Ubuntu yet, even though that is the current hot distro. I may end up giving it a shot, but most likely I will try Fedora Core 6 with MythTV so my media pc and desktop can use the same repositories. Of course, I would be better off with a Win MCE installation or virtual machine so I can stream to my 360.

Xbox Update
MS has released a patch to prevent users from running their own code/operating systems on the Xbox 360.
I hope I haven’t installed it yet…
Firefox
First off, if you don’t have Firefox, you should get it. It is my favorite web browser out there currently.
There are a few extensions that I consider must haves:
- FasterFox
·This really speeds up your load times. - Web Developer
·Like the name implies, this adds tons of functionality useful for web development and design. - ForecastFox
·Weather updates in your browser - Tab Mix Plus
·One minor thing I really missed about windows was middle clicking a tab in Firefox to close it. After switching to fedora, I never could find the option to allow that….until I installed this extenstion.
