Linux Setup

This is old but maybe it will help someone.

My Linux Setup

Here's some specifics on the Linux setup I'm running on my Thinkpad T61

• I'm running Xubuntu 8.04
• I have used this glorious configuration to make fonts look better: fonts are ugly in ubuntu

• I also used this doc to get the thinkpad middle mouse button to work for scrolling
• I used this guide to set up compiz and emerald. Attach: theme.emerald.txt is my emerald theme. I am using the Human-Murrine UI theme with UnBatang 10 font, 96 DPI.
• This guide helped me get my standby to work properly.
