I was able to use it a bit, but my Wifi card wasn't on and I didn't feel like doing the reboot trick to turn it on.
The settings (at least the monitor/screen one) was different than I'm used to.... Oh yeah, that's right, it was KDE and not GNOME. KDE tends to stretch the entire wallpaper across both screens (eww) while GNOME just duplicates it... The fix is pretty easy, since all it really requires is to make the wallpaper the full size and then tile the original wallpaper in them. I couldn't find a settings thing to change the wallpaper anyway... Though I did find the wallpaper folder (
~/.wallpapers).
But I think my main turn off is KDE. I don't mind it, but I honestly prefer GNOME since I think it's a bit more friendly and customizable. The little desktop thingy that stays in the top right corner annoys me, even in its translucent form.
Pretty sure there's a way to install GNOME for it, but that requires me to install Gentoo... Which I don't have any hard drive space for (if only it didn't have a problem with Triela...).
Since I wasn't really connect it to the internet, I didn't really have a whole lot of motivation to test it any further. And so I wasn't really able to test out the package manager (if there is one) or anything else.
For now, I'm just gonna give my best friend the disk and let him tinker with it if he pleases... Well, he's gonna have to find that short USB A to B cord first... (LOL)
