As an ubuntu user, I find it very amusing when you claim it looks nicer than vista (my primary os).
24-bit color > 32-bit color?
Ububtu wont work with my usb keyboard. Or my SATA controller. It just crashes on boot. Vista works and looks so much better
beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i don't like aero or luna (or whatever the default xp theme is) but i love gilouche, clearlooks and hmmxp. and anything vista has cannot compare with compiz fusion. at least nothing i have seen.
24-bit and 32-bit have the exact same amount of colours, extra 8 bits are for the alpha channel which iirc is used only when rendering 3d, blending transparent textures. the actual data from the graphics card to the display is 24-bit in both linux and windows. no difference.
Agreed again. However, the 24-bit reproduction in ubuntu looks worse than a 16-bit reproduction in windows for some reason.
My desktop looks like ass on ubuntu
lastest kernel not solve that ?
that i am sure is ATI/AMD's fault for providing such rubbish drivers, or perhaps you are still using vesa? (hope not). i am sure it can be fixed with a driver update since all they've been working on the past few months are bugfixes. but this is pretty OT for this thread.

Anyhoo, my slightly modified vista d'top. Now using zune player in my sidebar. It is a completely independent music player (i.e. doesn't need other apps open). Quite nifty, made by our friends at the hobby lounge
I have no idea. That was the installer I was talking about
I know! And you forgot the URL again. =)Yea im a jerk..
it may be that i am just blind or the alcohol from last night has put my eyes on dark but i cant find that wall on deviantART - any chance of a link for wall icons and themes please
ps. nothing wrong with xp just ask dell i cant see what the big deal is with vista - i tried it and didnt like it much, this pc will run it but only has 1gb ram in it atm, cant afford to buy vista and mem so have to stick with xp
