Star Integrating ROX Desktop Into Ubuntu
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 15th Apr 2007 21:15 UTC
Window Managers This article details how to make Ubuntu use the ROX Desktop without using ROX Session. "Can we get rid of ROX-Session? It should be possible to integrate ROX with your existing session manager. In this experiment, I configure a fresh Ubuntu installation to run ROX, without using ROX-Session."

... but next time, maybe in 1-2 years, "Ubuntu: how to power on your computer".

But apart from my rant about the new Diggish-Ubuntu-hype OSNews style, ROX is indeed very nice :-)

Don't knock Ubuntu users. I've been a Unix admin for 19 years and I am very impressed by what I have seen when I visit ubuntuforums.org.

It's impressive how well end users, many of them newish to unix, have organized themselves into a very high quality source of support.

The average Ubuntu user is *far* from clueless.

The ROX desktop is nicely integrated in Mandriva otherwise, no need to make a tutorial about it.
