Hi Lisi!
Guest user:
username:guest password:guest
Super-user:
username:root password:root
I'm not a fan of security, so I keep it simple :)
On the next release of my live-cd, it will feature a script to switch back to default TDE
look, so you might like it!

Hi, Alexandre!
Thank you very much for your swift and charitable response.

And here is the grovelling. I was trying to test whether a scanner problem
was hardware or software. I have very few remotely recent Live CDs already
burnt. Your first one was one of them, Alexandre. I tried it immediately
after Ubuntu. I have to acknowledge that hordes of people love Ubuntu. But
I am not one of them. 11.04 Ubuntu + Unity is sooooo sloooowwwwww. It
nearly drove me scatty. On a reasonably fast new box it crawled even after
it started. And booting up is a lesson in slowing down for snails.
PCLOS + Trinity _ran_ by comparison. It fairly whizzed along. And I liked
the appearance more than last time. I have to say that almost anything would
have looked good after Unity, but I don't know why I disliked it so strongly
before. :-(
So kudos Alexandre. What you have done is indeed very useful. Thank you.
I still strongly dislike the menu style you have used, but I know that that is
partly because of my disability - and I cannot and don't expect the world to
redesign itself to suit me. I just panicked at the thought of TDE perhaps
going the way of everything else and leaving me without a usable DE. :-(
I look forward to your next Live CD. (And David - I didn't use yours because
I only had one from ages ago. I have now downloaded the one from April this
year and will burn it.)

Xsane is, of course, there all the time. I must have been panicking.

I haven't
checked yet, but it's what I tough. One advantage of the KickOff menu is that you
could have written xsane on the search bar at the top of it and boom: xsane is right
there!

Hi!
During the last few days, I tested TDE R14 nightlies, on Ubuntu 13.04, from the standard
install CD, mainly to test it and find bugs. It was the first time I tried Unity and after
fiddling around during 4-5 minutes to try to launch a program and search a file, I said to
myself: Damn, I don't know how to use a computer anymore! I guess Unity is not for
me...
Also, even with TDE R14 nightlies, I saw that the Ubuntu base system is heavier than
PCLinuxOS base system. Plus it doesn'T have the very useful Control Center, which is
derived from Mandriva and Mageia.

Yes, but it is funky and wobbles and moves and is, I think, transparent in
places. I find the whole effect so painful that I find it difficult to go
near!

Linux Mint is much more reasonable than Ubuntu. I'm hoping someone with
more skills than I will make a live/installable .ISO of Mint with TDE.

And as I have the panel to put my icons, I only use whatever "start menu" for

and "task bars" (I find Alt-Tab easier than the taskbar and I need the place
