Why would someone destroy the beauty of Cinnamon with these themes?

You are right but...I love the simplicity and beauty of Windows 8.1 and the speed of Linux

In the control center, item 'theme'. You can add more :) I personally like EnhancedMinty http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/uploads/themes/XTTJ-MPB8-NE4H.png :D Nice theme ! :) Thanks man :D But is there any "transformation pack", may be for Windows 8.1 or the OSX ? @killer de bug Yeah,...

Hi ! I 'm using Mint 16 Cinnamon flavour but I think the Windows and other stuff like task bars etc are all gray and boring. I have the Suse Linux on my other drive which has an awesome GNOME and KDE environment. So, is there any way to "jazz it up" without downloading too much stuff ? Als...

i wasn't serious...just wanted to know more stuff about booting...er the process of booting a Linux distro ! It would probably be better to ask something of this caliber on the Samsung support forums. They would have a better understanding of their hardware there. You would assume so tho that it doe...

I had some problems regarding the display resolution being forced to 800x600 @60hz in Mint 10. I knew it was because of the bad SiS graphics driver but the driver I had was for xorg 7.2 which was very old and didn't work on the Mint 10. I tried to use a modified xorg.conf from the guy who coded the ...

How about Wary puppy ? Wary Puppy After many beta test releases, Wary Puppy 5.0 was released on December 29, 2010, the first official public release. This is the first of my "Wary5" series of Puppy Linux, a "fifth generation" Puppy.There are two main reasons for this project: 1 O...

[Warning: May contain BS :) ] 1. I have seen many people who have Samsung Wave tryin to run Android on it. All of them say they need IDA Pro and its very costly. Is there any opensource disassembler which is easy to use ? 2. As Samsung have phones like Galaxy S which is based on the same Humming bir...

Another thing about Puppy is that it's around 100MB download. You really owe it to yourself to give it a try. mikhou Yeah but the Mandriva 2010.2 is stunning even though I can't browse the net :P I'm gonna try Wvdial. If it fails, its time to move on :( Thanks for the post...I've to say Mint forums...

Only since Lupu (after 4.3.1) has Puppy been Ubuntu based. Get an older copy of Puppy (4.3.1 or earlier) and you shouldn't have a problem. It's fast, runs completely in RAM, and is feature-packed. I keep one on a USB stick for troubleshooting cptrs. mikhou I would keep that in mind ! Thanks for the...

Ok, I got Mint's Grub working (by grub reconfigure, grub install commands) but the issue still remains. Mint gives the same error as before, "Could not update ICEauthority file"

Btw, the usernames of the account I created of Mint and Mandriva were the same, did this created the problem ?

I dont have the live usb with me but I guess have an Ubuntu 9.04 cd !

Btw, is it possible to reload the grub at a command prompt ?
Is there any keyboard shortcut for command prompt ?

I already did that. First I accidently entered the path for the recovery mode then I changed to the normal one. Mint boots up now and as I mentioned, gets a lot of errors !!

Is it because of some permission issues ?
Also, how can I go to konsole and install mint's bootloader ?

I couldn't log onto Mint after installing Mandriva nd later entered config for recovery mode in grub menu of Mandriva. I could boot but were left with a 'Recovery screen'. I then rebooted and added correct path for proper boot but after loging on, I was greeted with an error "Could not update I...

I use mint 9 XFCE (32 bit) on my 8 year old dell 4600c. -Hinto How is the network manager in XFCE ? Why not try Puppy Linux?

Guys, I can get either Scientific Linux (based on Redhat) or Mandriva 2010.12 out of a tech magazine but I can't have both. I need to make that choice now ! Which one I should select ? I'm a mech engr btw so I'm guessing Scientific Linux might be more useful ?? How is Redhat's hardware support ? Tha...
