You know, Linux Distro's are like Dog Kernels.
They are in diffrent sizes and shapes.
The most popular GUI's are Gnome and KDE.
The rest are MID, Xfce, FluxBox, Text-Based and custom made GUI's.
This time, 6 tips about: Gnome.
1. Advanced date
You see the date and time at the top (or button) of your screen.
But this can be even more handy.
Just click on that date, and...
...You will see an advanced calendar and you will see where's day and night at that moment!
2. Kana test
Just see it like that.
You have brought a Japanese game, but you can't understand a fuck of what they are saying.
So now what?!
Kana test is a way to learn to read Japanese, through you still can't understand what they say in a game, but you can learn to read. ;-)
The Kana Game helps you reading Japanese, without DS Homebrew.
3. VirtualBox at Full Screen
Linux is a wonderfull project.
For running Windows Apps, you can use Wine or CrossOver.
But sometimes, you will need VirtualBox for the best results for Windows Apps.
You can use VirtualBox, like this:
Just press the Host Key (it's Right-CTRL by default) and F...
...You will get full screen!
Note that this will not fit the screen while booting, on logon screen, while installing Windows and directly after installation.
4. Rainbow Fire
You have an old-school red and yellow fire.
All other colours are ugly for fire.
Why don't you try Rainbow Fire?
Before.
After.
5. Asking after pressing Power Button
You know that.
In Windows, as soon as you press the Power Button, it will shutdown.
In Linux, this is the same problem.
But in Linux, you can let it ask you.
Simply go to System -> Configurationcentre -> Powermanagment.
Go to the 3rd tab.
At the first one, answer with "Ask".
6. Bigger pictograms
You know this function from Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger and higher from 2005, and Windows Vista from 2007.
Well, Linux had this a lot earlier.
Just hold CTRL and scroll up to make the pictograms bigger and scroll down to make them smaller.
This will be very handy if you can't see well, or just perfer smaller/bigger pictograms.
Before.
After.
This was the 6 Gnome tips part.
I'd like to make some tips about Vista, OSX Leopard, Wii, Xfce and KDE.
But, who will buy a Mac and 3 more computers for me?
That is the question.
