my new OS :D

i had been using windows almost all my entire life. its not that i dont like windows, but i wanted something new. something unique. something out of the ordinary.

i needed change.

it all started one boring night, we were tal
king with my friend (kevin paul p. mabul), stalking facebook accounts, talking about tekken, etc. he invited me to switch to Linux. at first, i wasnt interested and i didnt like changing my OS because of the work, hassle, additional downloads, and lots and lots and LOTS of configuring to do. it took him a long time to convince me, but in the end i agreed. after all, i wa
nted something new.

he showed me the list of linux OS's and we talked about each and every one of them. i asked a lot of questions, but he didn't mind. i asked him what he recommended and he gave me 2.

for low RAM usage, he recommended linux MINT 9 LXDE. for more user-friendly features, linux MINT 9 KDE

i didnt really mind then the "user-friendly factor of LINUX MINT 9 KDE so naturally i choosed LINUX MINT 9 LXDE for its low RAM usage as i had only 1GB of ram :|

this is my LINUX MINT 9 LXDE :D i like it for it's cool, clean and suave look. :3 and most of all, it only consumes approximately 200-400mb of RAM. :D 4 desktops, the ability to minimize windows, showing only the title bar (which is COOL) and some other shit :D although, i gotta admit it is a little bit complicated to use. its not that im not used to linux (but really, im not used to linux) but some stuff are really confusing .



tada! :D this is my LINUX MINT 9 GNOME :3 it became my instant favorite because of its light color, user friendly shit, and all that jazz :3 it still has 4 desktops and consumes more RAM than LXDE :3

as you can see from the picture, i have conky enabled. conky is the statistic shit at the left side of my desktop :3

so thanks to my friend, i have these awesome stuff. without him, i wouldnt linux now. no regrets :)

Microsoft can give you windows, but Linux can give you the whole house.
