I love Ubuntu, but I hated having to reconfigure everything, download a decent theme, etc (please PLEASE get rid of the brown...I would probably run it native if it wasn't so Ugly!). I digress. I use Linux Mint, which comes with nice selection of packages, the medibuntu, restriced extras etc, pre installed. I then install Vmware, nmap, metasploit, hping2, tcpdump, p0f, amap, john, etc. I do...security testing...anyway...moving on.... Thanks for the wonderful site, and thank you even more for helping the community!

I change the theme, the wallpaper, add transparency to the menu bar and add the applications that I use most frequently. After that I begin to update and get multimedia working. For me the most important thing is for it to look (and work) the way I like it, otherwise it just does not feel like my desktop. BTW, in KDE I work the same way, except I move the menu bar to the top first. The first thing that I do is change it so that it looks the way that I want it to.

At the moment I am using Droid Sans size 8, (from the new Google Android kit), it's narrower and looks sooo much better both as a system font and for reading webpages. Also I enable LCD font smoothing The first thing that I do is change the fonts and make them smaller.
