Speed demon

Since I never was able to get this box to boot off the install CD, I’ve left it on and have just made my changes from there. (Which has saved some time, I’ve got to admit.)

So, up until a few hours ago I was using Xfce, but I switched to Fluxbox (which I was using back in the old days) and I’m very much pleased with it. I’m flirting with installing idesk or fluxter to give me desktop icons, but I want to see if I can go without. It’s really been interesting going back to a minimalist window manager — I’ve taken so much for granted. :) But the speed is phenomenal. Fluxbox rocks my world.

As far as themes go, I’m using Sleek, which I think I made myself but it’s been so long and I can’t remember anymore. (I love the artwiz fonts, by the way.) Still have to set the Gtk theme to something I like…

Anyway, I was originally somewhat hesitant to going back to Linux, but now I can very easily see myself using both Linux and Mac in the future. Now if only I could get Blender to stop crashing… (It doesn’t like my video card.)
