Hi all

Been trying out 6.4 on USB stick with 4GB persistence. It's very stable not many problems so far and very fast for USB. I like to test to destruction, not their yet, but as you can see. ----

------------ It's ON FIRE.

If I can achieve something similar to my 5.2 desktop. --------

------------ I might even install it.

Cheers Auldyin

Well I've given 6.4 a good go and it's taken all I can throw at it, but now my 4GB persistence is almost full up, so I cant do much more. But I wont be installing it because, when I mouse over a music file it doesn't automatically play like in 5.2, and when I grab a open window with the mouse I can't drag it to the next workspace on the cube, like I can in 5.2 ,this is something I use all the time, but it stops at the edge of the screen and then expands to fill up half of the screen, which I find really annoying.

Roll on 6.5 Auldyin

:cry:

Thanks swarf.

Did I create these Desktops. Well yes and no. I take what is available in Zorin and arrange them into a Desktop I like.
If you mean the wallpapers I find them wherever I can on the internet.
At the moment Iv'e got 58 which I use in Wallch, available in the software centre, to randomly change then at a random time.

Here's a few of them -----------------

The wall of the middle-aged lady over the car looks like an extract of a remake of the first 'Transformers' movie with the original actress! :lol:

Hi All

MMnn Swarf "The Transformers Movie" somehow I managed to miss that one.

You are referring to this scene with Megan Fox Swarf:

Personally.....I prefer the remake than the old lady :roll:

Yes, Wolfman, you got it! I have found that 'love wallpaper HD' in Ubuntu Tweak and excellent source for HD Wallpapers - it is pot luck but you can just carry on clicking the 'I'm feeling lucky!' button until you get the one you want!

Going back to Megan .... there is an excellent 'speed drawing' on YouTube of the scene by someone using Adobe Photoshop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1jWOrVDMyk
