ecause the default window-manager in Gnome (Metacity) refuses to adhere to the contemporary X standards for window movement and resizinging, or even make it possible to, I decided to give the beryl 3D windowmanager a try.

These are the standard way of moving and resizing windows under X:

• Alt+Mouse1="move window"
• Alt+Mouse3="resize window"

Beryl is absolutely beautiful. And I think I'll actually stick with it for a while.

• Gnome Theme = Gorilla
• Beryl Emerald Theme = frame (by pomalin)

Slackware DVD-cover

Scalable Vector Graphics

created this normal-size DVD-coverimage using inkscape 0.45 on Ubuntu 7.04. Designing this cover was a great opportunity to learn a little more about SVG.

Link to a zip containing all images and inkscape-compatible svg-file.

A point not to be forgotten is that the penquin-graphics and the Slackware-button were not created by me. The Slackified Tux-image was taken from the Slackware propagande site: http://www.slackware.com/~msimons/slackware/grfx/ and the Slackware button was found somewhere on the internet.

Oh... lest I forget - the background tile was snatched in its entirety from the slackware website. It's all more of a composition really...
