I've been growing surprisingly fond of cinnamon. Moved my laptop over from ubuntu to mint 14 rc. I really like unity, but silly compiz bugs cropping up all over push me over the deep end :/. I'm amazed at how stable and bug free mint 14/cinnamon 1.6 is.

Greybird gtk, faenza icons, plank:

Yeah, I'm testing out Cinnamon atm. It's different, but less heavy than Gnome Shell.

Been using Arch as my go-to linux distro for a while. Been having problems since the Gnome 3.6 updates came along. The last update messed up my icons, however some google searching lead me to a solution. I had to recompile the nautilus source with an edited png, but it ended up working.

Using Cinnamon as the DE, with Gnome 3.6.x everything else (Nautlius, Theming, etc).

I just can't seem to shake this disease of distro-hopping. :grin:

This is my newest install. The first Cinnarch Beta, released 11/22/2012. My first foray into the world of Arch. And I really like what I'm seeing!

Fairly stock install, added the apps I love and changed the window border and wallpaper...

@ UncleSpellbinder, Xubuntu has come along way, I really enjoyed my experience with XFCE 4.10 and once those bugs with thunar and the app menu are resloved I will be trying it out again.

@ Stanca Laurentiu, A+ for originality

beat this....

linux vm within a windows server 2012 vm on windows server 2012 with hyper-v!!!!

That's just mind blowing, testing a virtual client on a virtual server ... I'm very appreciative for the advances in technology we have today along with the affordability and server downtimes!

It was actually very easy for me to pull this off but it required a lot of patience!!!

hyper-v has issues running ubuntu 12.10 tho it runs like a dog.

and i'mma try to have a vm within that.... arrrg it's harder since it runs hard like a dog. seriously.... just loading firefox is slow as hell... ubuntu sucks on this vm....

fedora flat out won't install.. it will only run on a live cd, I install, then it weueueuws about a font missing, then loads the wallpaper then goes "uh oh" something happend and don't boot....

Here's a Linux vm within a linux vm :cat:

      I did that to a work colleague many years ago when he left it logged in. Unfortunately I was out of the office the next day, and even the IT department was stumped lol. Got a bit of a bollocking when I got back into the office, but, by god, it was worth it.
