In case you somehow found your way here and haven’t already seen them over at The Linux Experiment, I have put up two new posts that deal with fixes for your linux desktop.
Two monitors. Different resolutions. One desktop. If you’ve ever wondered how to use two monitors with different resolutions as a single, unified, extended desktop I highly suggest you do a quick read of this post. I’ve covered how to avoid, and fix, the ‘dead space’ issue where application windows can get lost because of the difference is vertical resolutions.
As a long time Windows user I have had my fair share of dull, gray toolbars, buttons and controls. Prior to Windows Vista, Microsoft’s first real attempt to pretty up the system – sorry XP, making the taskbar blue just doesn’t cut it – I even looked to Mac OSX with some jealousy.
Flash forward to The Linux Experiment and I have been introduced to a whole new set of environment graphics.
Over at The Linux Experiment we have decided to shake things up a little bit by forcing a change of desktop environments on everyone. Whatever we have been using thus far as to go for at least two weeks. If you care to follow along you can start by reading about how my transition from KDE to GNOME went below.

I just finished up a quick post over on The Linux Experiment about how to share one keyboard and mouse among multiple computers using software, in this case a Windows Vista desktop and a Fedora 11 laptop.

…to The Linux Experiment. That’s right, it seems like such a short time ago that our little experiment began and now it’s already celebrating it’s second month on the web! Please stop by and check us out and let us know just how crazy (or not) we are for committing to using Linux for four whole months!
Some friends and I have decided to give Linux a run for its money. Most of us are experienced Windows users so we figured making the transition to Linux would be 1) a good thing for the resumé and 2) a pretty easy switch. Boy were we ever wrong about #2… #1 is still debatable 😉
The basic premise is this:
Is Linux really a practical desktop computer for the masses?
