shai Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yay! I'm a nerd, she's a nerd, you're a nerd...we're all nerds in here. I forgot to mention that I figured out how to make XP look like BeOS. Was it worth it? You bet it was...I love the way BeOS looks, but I've never installed it. Don't know why...lazy, mostly. I'm about to leave the house...I'll post a screenshot here soon. Looks good.

shai Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Oh....in reply to the last, Avast, Spybot, Ccleaner, Kerio, and WebWasher hold it down over here. I'm also using a system monitor called Rainmeter now. It's kind of like Torsmo for Windows. I got it from <http://www.ipi.fi/~rainy/ index.php?pn=projects&project=rainmeter>.

shai Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 VLC for media files GIMP for graphics GAIM for chat Audacity for A/D conversion/recording Microburner for CD/ISO burning Opera 9.0 is my browser Cygwin for when I miss using a UNIX shell and for mc The previously mentioned anti-malware apps All run on TinyXP4, which is amazing. That's all I really need. If you look on Sourceforge or Versiontracker, you can usually find comparable apps to what you pay good money for.

shai Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Is it better? There's been a couple snags here and there, but nothing I couldn't work around. Let me know where to find it (not here, of course...yoiu know how to get in touch). My guess is TPB, but I want the ISO. They didn't have it for TinyXP4.

shai Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Johnny, I can't recommend TinyXP highly enough. You have to try it to understand how great it is....it's like the best things about Linux and XP in one package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
