this thread is making me want to get back into Linux again. I haven't touched it since oh 2006 I guess. But I liked Ubuntu quite a bit.

Re: Ubuntu
Go for it. Try out a Live CD or something. Linux has improved massively in recent years, and is definitely worth another try. If for no other reason than to have the coolness factor of the "Desktop Cube".noiseredux wrote:lisalover1 wrote:

Re: Ubuntu
You mean the desktop cube, or the Live CD? A Live CD is an image of the OS that you burn to a CD-R/DVD-R, and you can run it when you start up your computer, so you can run Linux without installing it. The desktop cube... well, just keep watching that youtube video I posted earlier in the thread.

Re: Ubuntu
Oh, well in that case, I'll just tell you. A common feature in Linux is multiple desktops, which allow you to have different windows all open at the same time on different virtual screens. But, as a feature in Compiz, you can put these desktops on a cube, sphere, or cylinder, and rotate around through them. It's a great solution for people who want multiple screens, but don't have a second monitor.

I haven't found a full version on the internet that isn't the very first version. Even the GC-Linux site doesn't have it hosted anymore!noiseredux wrote:that's really cool.lisalover1 wrote:Oh, well in that case, I'll just tell you.
