Ubuntu:12.10 on Acer Aspire Revo R3610 @Dec 18, 2012 1:02:57 AM
I have just replaced the Hitachi 160GB 2.5" SATA disk with a Kingston 96GB 2.5" SSD.
Create a boot SDHC using a computer with network access to download the desktop ISO and an SDHC adapter. System Tools -> Administration -> Startup Disk Creator When booting the Revo, press F12 to select to boot from USB card reader. I dislike Unity:$ sudo apt-get install gnome gnome-color-chooser nautilus-open-terminal Log-off, and at the log-on prompt select "Gnome clasic (no effects)" from the little splat-menu by your username, and log-on. I dislike the dark theme:System Tools -> System Settings -> Appearence And select Radiance as the Theme. I want tool-tips that are readableMenu: Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> GNOME Color Chooser Switch to the Specific tab. Activate the tool-tip group and set your tool-tip colors (I use black foreground on white background). At the bottom of the window select the value Theme Default for the profile. Press apply. For those who may be interested, gnome-color-chooser will change your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file. I want propper scroll-bars:$ gsettings get com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode I want the day and date displayed in the indicator in the menu-bar:$ gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-date Enable trim and disable writing atime to preserve SSD life:$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab And add the options discard and noatime to the partitions on the SSD, like this: UUID=22c6bea7-d2e6-49fe-8668-102170ebc58b / ext4 discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 Enable talking to old and insecure NAS server:$ sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf At the bottom of the [Global] section, add this: client lanman auth = yes Install usefull stuff from Ubuntu repository$ sudo apt-get -y install putty Install Oracle Java 6$ cd ~/Downloads Install EclipseDownload Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Extract the tar.gz - I put it in $HOME/shared/eclipse Add Eclipse to the Application menu Menu: Applications -> System Tools -> Preferences -> Main Menu Add a New Item to the Programming menu.
