Re: [MLUG] Ubuntu 7.10 out now

[Aaron Jackson <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

When I installed Gutsy on my tablet I discovered that they have desktop 
effects turned on by default on the live cd. The tablet is an 800mhz 256mb 
machine so needless to say it took forever to get gnome up and running. I 
also had to have my swap space set up before I could even load the 
installer. Once everything got started though, the desktop effects worked 
very well even on a low power machine. As cool as desktop effects are, 
having them on by default on the installer live cd is a pain. I still 
think they should provide a dialog asking if you would like to enable 
desktop effects after the installer gets running.
