Thanks,

I don't think I can help you with the font , I didn't do anything special to get the font to look like that. Just downloaded it and selected it in my terminal profile ,size 9.

The menu thing , right click on the gnome panel > add to panel > main menu

, then remove the other menu > rightclick > remove from panel.

msg43,

i said the name of the font in my screenshot details ..

Font: Tahoma 8, Terminal font: Profont

I downloaded ProFont for Linux, and set it as my terminal font, but it looked nothing like that

Hey Knight,

How does FreeBSD perform on your vaio? I've got a Sony VAIO PCG-R600HFPD and running FC4 on it and it's a bit slow.

BTW, is it easy to get FreeBSD on the laptop, and do you happen to know how to adjust the brightness while on battery?

Thanks.

I'm pretty new to FreeBSD on the desktop, 2 days to be exact, so at the moment I'm not sure this can be done. In Linux it was pretty easy though...

nifty, first freebsd screenie i've seen

Yep, thats them. I thought the icons suited the colours of the wall, so decided to give them a whirl. They're called "Litho" by the way, but can't remember where I found them... I do remember having to use icoutils to convert them from windows .ico format though.

A bunch of changes & tweaks, I'm suprised I haven't destroyed anything yet but I'm learning. I think my plan is to run Ubuntu as much as I can for 1 month and then see where it takes me, because I usually remove linux when I get to a problem I can't solve for more then a few hours.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
