SLiM – Simple Login Manager
I recently swapped from GDM to SLiM on my EeePC running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 and decided to make a nice simple theme for it which you can download.
SLiM - crackware theme
SLiM is exactly that, a Simple Login Manager and it lives up to it’s name. Even being as simple as it is, you can still theme it and it has a configuration file which you can edit.
From Ubuntu to Windows 7
Well I was running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on my EeePC 1000HE and was going great, so I decided to do a dist upgrade to 9.10 Karmic, bad idea!
It downloaded and installed fine, but when I rebooted wicd wouldn’t pick up my wireless network, so no internet basically means I hosed the machine.
I had a copy of Windows 7 RTM so thought I would give it another run on the EeePC, and I must say it is magically fast, I am loving it. Anyone with a newer modern EeePC running XP or Vista, I would highly recommend updating to Windows 7.

xchat-gnome is not XChat
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 today on my EeePC and notice that the version of XChat I had installed seemed different. The first thing I noticed was it was called xchat-gnome and was build 0.xx. Knowing that XChat was up to version 2.8 I thought it seemed quite odd.
