awesomegamer Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Whats with everything becoming shiny for no apparent reason? No seriously, thats my whole point. It's just not necessary, even linux KDE 4 is going to come out with a new gen look. IPB got shiny and from what I hear so will phpBB3.

Quantum Media LLC Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I guess thats the new look... I like it, I actually have a "shiny" header on my business website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomegamer Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 For a website thats perfectly fine, even major OS's like windows and such, I'm just thinking its being overdone where its not needed, like linux, that's a nerdy technical computer.

Kyougi Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Glossy is the new black. Linux might be a nerdy technical OS, but it's trying to market itself as a desktop. It'll need the glitz and glamor to pull people in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomegamer Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 yeah, I heard Dell is going to start making computers that come with Linux or Windows as an OS choice. So they probably want it to appear more trendy. I need a source... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesomegamer Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 Ha, slightly off topic, most forums' internet talk I see most people hate Ubuntu, I hear many good things about Fedora though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyougi Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Ha, slightly off topic, most forums' internet talk I see most people hate Ubuntu, I hear many good things about Fedora though. Just as many people hate Fedora Core as they do Ubuntu. It's all about preference. They're both bloatware-for-dummies to me, anyways.

awesomegamer Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I have never used either. What would you recommend? I'm not sure what it means but I hear speak of Ubuntu not using proper methods because it uses its own because its a build off of Debian (I think thats the name).

I recommend whatever works good for you. Doesn't mean I won't trash it  Ubuntu get's a lot of bad rap from the Debian community 'cuz it doesn't abide by Debian's fork guidelines.

awesomegamer Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I was actually thinking of buying 3 computers at some point in my life just for compatibility and convenience; Mac 10.6, XPMCE, and maybe Fedora 7. Though this may not necessarily be what they are best for, here is how I would divide up the purpose: Business and Play: Win Media and Personal: Mac Technological Work: Nix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesomegamer Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yeah, I wanted to tripple boot and I thought about it, but I think I get off to the control center type thing with three screens from 3 different computers arround my face. I'd use them to divide up what Iam doing, probably chatting on one, doing work on another, and just watching a movie or doing something else on another. That would be so cool. I know how to dual boot, but yeah I know if you want to use mac and win, mac is the only way to go. I'm gonna go to a friends house sometime this year (because I have dialup) and downlaod a Linux for download. I'm really thinking about Fedora, what do you think would be good for a nerdy programmer who likes to learn the hard way arround with out all the easy shortcuts and automators? I like lots of manual control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
