The Current Debian Desktop

The current situation on the T60, with its newest SSD drive, running Debian.
Damn if don't love this setup... Everything looks and feels amazing, even the again T60 seems kinda snappy, except for Chromium.

With a sort of look a like Xubuntu theme going on, but not really.
The theme on this one is CobiBird, as opposed to Greybird.

The current Linux Mint desktop

Transformed the Linux Mint greens onto the Greys and Blues.
It turns out all it takes is issuing a:

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-icon-theme greybird-gtk-theme

One thing I've noticed, tho. This theme is not designed to be used on small resolution screens, everything looks kinda huge, but manageable.

Nano Xubuntu on The T60

Damn I'm impressed!
Last Friday made a "Xubuntu minimal installation" on the T60, just for kicks and shit.
Really snappy and also looks good, will keep using it, the only thing that sort of kills this thing is that the LTS release doesn't have a five year shelf life, but three.
I'm considering building a FrankenXFCE, using an Ubuntu Server as the base, and then install the minim desktop packages.

Xubuntu: a little testing on the T60

Made an Xubuntu install on the Thinkpad T60 (using a feeble 500 GB SATA HDD from the old Vaio.)
Went with the LTS release (Xubuntu 12.04), upgraded to XFCE 4.10, and then tried to enable its Global Menu option, but the thing went nowhere...
Guess I'll have to stick to Linux MATE for the lightweight Desktop Environment solution on the Thinkpad T60.
