Going minimal on my Ubuntu desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| In GNOME, the panel takes up enough screen real estate
| on a netbook to be annoying. A few paragraphs back, I
| mentioned that I took stock of the few icons I had on
| the panel and came up with two that I really needed.
| Theyâre both panel applets, and I donât know of any
| other way of launching them. So I deleted all of the
| icons I didnât need and moved the sshMenu and Trash
| applet icons to the top panel.

Ubuntu Software Store Generates Questions
,----[ Quote ]
| Given the likelihood that the Software Store will
| eventually become a channel for selling applications in
| addition to distributing Free ones, and that that
| development is in the interests of everyone, I donât see
| a reason to worry so much about the implications of the
| term âstore.â Although the application wonât serve as a
| store in Ubuntu 9.10, it may well become one in future
| releases. And thatâs fine.

4 Truly Minimal Linux Desktop Distributions
,----[ Quote ]
| Iâve been researching concepts of minimalism as it applies to computing and
| personal productivity, and Iâm convinced that in many cases, a minimal setup
| can really help you get more done. Trimming the unnecessary applications and
| eye-candy from your computing setup can help your focus and find the most
| efficient workflow. I offer four truly minimal Linux distributions hereâand
| to me minimal doesnât necessarily imply small, and small does not mean
| minimal. Take PuppyLinux, for instance. Small, yes. Minimal? Hardly. Donât
| get me wrong, this isnât a bad thing (Iâm a Puppy fan); itâs just not really
| minimal. So, not all of these distros are super tiny, but they do all embrace
| minimalistic principles: simple but pleasing design, just the applications
| you need, and an emphasis on performance.
