It's wmii.

Sorry to say, THAT is HAWT....

I have been using ubuntu since breezy badger.

1 - i dont understand the point of using virus scanners on linux. virus scanners exist becuase of a deficit in a popular commercial operating system. one that was created on purpose imo.

2 - with a core duo 2.3ghz and 2gb 800mhz ram and a nvidia 8800gt...wow runs the same as it did when i was using windows 1month ago. right now im on ubuntu hardy.

If Mint's got a forum for Wine, I suggest posting on it. If not, register an account on Ubuntu's forums, as they do have a Wine subforum - I am sure you can get a response there.

linuxmint is just ubuntu with a different set of default programs nd a different theme. The difference is skin deep, so any thing you can apply to ubuntu can be applied to linuxmint.

3) I haven't really been installing much; I'm surprised how well packed Ubuntu comes with by default (Mint should be the same, as they share repos IIRC). I try to avoid the terminal as much as possible, since I really don't want to mess anything up. Any time I read about a sudo command, I am cautious, as this gives full administration privileges and therefore it is easy to run a bad sudo and delete important files.

You really ought to learn how to use the terminal. It is the most powerful tool at your disposal.
safest way for you to do this is aim to get a virtual machine running...so you can do all further experiments inside a safe sandbox

4) I mentioned AWN before, but it's since been mentioned again. XD For other customization, I haven't dabbled much, but http://www.gnome-look.org/ might be a spot to check out. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "mint-look" site, too.

repeat my sentence above about linuxmint being ubuntu. anything at gnome-look.org will work with linuxmint.

A virus scanner may be useful for an individual who is running Linux but sending files to users with a Windows OS, for example. Though, not everyone wants to or can be responsible for the longevity and wellbeing of others' computers.

A fast computer always helps. In continuing to play WoW on this computer, in running Hardy, I still see that my cursor is sluggish. Again, this being a fault of Blizzard by not enabling Hardware Cursor for OpenGL mode. Aside from this, I still notice no performance difference - fps are the same (shitty), regardless of OS. My computer is old and the next step is building a new one, no more upgrades for this thing. I do not expect Ubuntu or Wine to magically make WoW run smooth as butter.

Linux Mint also has at least one codec package enabled by default (as compared to Ubuntu), therefore the differences go a bit beyond appearance. However, as I said on the 25th of July, this codec is easily available and installed.

I may mess with the terminal in a VM, if I ever get the itch to do so. A powerful tool, indeed - I could not have gotten my printer working were it not for the terminal, a tutorial on Ubuntu's forums (and forum posters!) for installing the required driver.

You see Avanina, the terminal isn't bad at all, you should always learn the basic commands.

eg. Removing all files with a specific extension, or even folders. One command :P Moving them, copying, making folders. It's all so much faster.

Also when you run into problems you can ALWAYS go to a different TTY, log in and work with the console. :) (Alt + any of the F keys. I believe F7 returns you to the graphical user interface, give it a try).

Fear is your enemy in Linux.

Pro-tip: Try basic commands in a new account (not the one you use, nor the root -- which means no sudo). If you mess up, it's only that user :)

anyone knows a adblock plugin for opera which is as nice as the fx3 version "adblock+"? thats the only thing i miss now :/

You could give http://www.proxomitron.info/ a try. Imo it isn't quite as powerful as AdBlock+, but it's better than nothing and it blocks most of the nasty ads;)

Just download, install, start the app and set up a proxy in opera "localhost:8080" for http/https, thats it.

I hold no fear towards terminal or Linux. If I did, I wouldn't have bothered to install Ubuntu and get rid of Windows XP. If I have the computer turned on, I am usually playing WoW, listening to music, writing documents or browsing websites. I don't have the desire to create a new user account, make a VM, or otherwise play in some sort of sandbox environment. I completely understand what you're getting at - terminal can make simple things like organizing files quicker because you're typing instead of dragging files. I whole-heartedly appreciate the suggestions you've stated. I'd just rather be playing WoW.

Now, I'm going to go play WoW and mess around with some addons on my completely shitty computer. :)

Here's a Ubuntu from me.

Is Conky what make the bottom and top look like that? And if yes is it free?

And Lyn: Love Ergo Proxy, and it makes a hot Bacground too.

I'm currently using a rather plain joy division unknown pleasure pic. http://musik.antville.org/static/musik/images/joy%20division%20-%20unknown%20pleasures.jpg

I need to change it.
