Comments on: This is how Ubuntu Netbook Remix Looks like http://rinaz.net/2009/12/ubuntu/ Diary of a Singaporean in Rome Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:53:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: rinaz http://rinaz.net/2009/12/ubuntu/comment-page-1/#comment-179309 rinaz Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:28:30 +0000 http://rinaz.net/?p=1987#comment-179309 I didn't do anything special though. I'm running Karmic Koala under netbook remix. All I did was to go to system > appearance > human-netbook and then later adjust the background accordingly. I think you're using the regular interface. I used to be able to change back and forth using the desktop switcher in the pre-release, but I think that Ubuntu dropped this feature for karmic koala. In any case, Ubuntu is going to change again in late April with the upcoming release of 10.04 http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta1 I hope this answers your question :) I didn’t do anything special though.

Did you download it from gnome-look?

Its lovely isn't it? :-) I downloaded it off Jamendo by the artist called Azhrak. The song is called Below the Artic Ocean. You could listen and download it from the artist here : http://www.jamendo.com/it/artist/Azhrak Hi James,

I've been looking for a decent one for a while, and the one you were using was really nice. Hey Rinaz could you let me know what theme you were using?

Especially with the different environments like KDE and GNOME making it very easy for regular users to get started. I respect and admire coders. But this video is meant more as an overview for those who are new or interested in knowing the Ubuntu Netbook remix and I'm sharing it with my own point of view with the experience that I personally have. Also open source means to <b>me</b> as a non developer and a user in general is that I have access to alternative software which rivals to the expensive retail versions. Spai

There is no direct implication between open source and software updates. I know this may sound condescending but Linux in general it's a complicated "crowd". You should stick with what you firmly know in order not to get other people confused with Linux concepts.
