- I decided to freshen up the look of my eeePC 900HD (running Ubuntu Netbook Remix):
- I really like Linux Mint. You should check it out, and possibly install it on your computer.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation was the best television series of all time.
- The Chinese word for "crisis" is composed of elements that signify "cliche" and "etymological fallacy."
- Eric Gagne is suiting up as a Dodger for spring training. Good luck to him, I'd love to see him back on the team.
- I decided to finally and permanently retire my Apple Dual 1.0 GHz G4 Powermac (mirrored drive door). It served faithfully running Gentoo Linux for a long time, but it was time to move on.

Nathan,
I use Ubuntu on a Starling Netbook. I didn't like the way Maximus made everything full screen. Here is a comment I made at another post:
I too am a power user with Unix/Solaris/Linux professional experience starting from the early 1970's. I am amazed at how well the Starling Netbook works. I installed my usuals: gvim, ssh, sshfs, vifm, autojump. This was to get the basic command line stuff and network connectivity going. Then the gui intensive apps and games AND Polytonic Greek and Hebrew support. It all worked fantastically well. The only problem was with maximus. I like having windows that I control. I like small windows.
See bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maximus/+bug/362301
I tried changing preferences and disabling it from startup -- TO NO AVAIL. This is what finally worked (via the bash super user command line):
which maximus -- to find the location of the binary file
cd -- to the location
chmod a-x maximus
This forced it to be unexecutable. So no more problems with those full screen windows.
