Puppy is the fastest, Ubuntulite and Fluxbuntu are about the same speed (but I like LXDE more than Fluxbox), then Slackware derivatives Zenwalk, Wolvix on these 400/450 MHz Pentium 2 PCs. Going through the file manager to change desktop config makes no sense the windows manager should pre-enable right-clicking on the desktop to do these things.īut in closing a really do appreciate having a windows manager which is closer to Ubuntu Gnome and fast. Likewise to add more desktops, in the same menu check mark, "Show menus provided by WM when desktop is clicked." Now you can right-click on the desktop to add more desktops. For instance, to change the desktop wallpaper, you have to open the PCMan file manager | Edit | Preferences | Desktop tab | Wallpaper. Some nice stuff that you can do in gnome such as easily putting icons on the desktop and changing the wallpaper by right-clicking on the desktop I do miss. It did take some playing around to figure out how to have more than 2 desktops, change the wallpaper and theme. But it's better than KDE's menu which is so confusing to ex-MS Windows users (if KDE had Ubuntu Gnome's menu that would be great) ok enough editorializing. Ubuntulite just has the Applications menu. I miss the Applications | Places | System menu which is in Ubuntu. So far I have Samba file sharing, pyNeighborhood, CUPS printing, K3b, mplayer, Kaffeine all working ok. Then the icon should be created for this shortcut but I still cannot figure out how to change the appearance of the default icon to the firefox icon. $ ln -s /usr/bin/firefox ~/Desktop/firefox To put a shortcut icon on your desktop type: This means that the actual firefox program is located at /usr/bin folder. Install firefox either through Applications | System Tools | Synaptic Package Manager or on the command line by Accessories | LXTerminal and typing at the $ prompt: I put it on an Intel Pentium II 450 MHz with 512 MB RAM and a 400 MHz Pentium II 756 MB RAM.Īs far as icons on the desktop, I have yet to figure out how to change the appearance of the default executable icon.įor example: Installing Firefox and making a shortcut on the desktop. I just tried out Ubuntulite 0.8 rc2 today.
