Working with Linux on a PC 1641

Good to hear - thanks.

Did not see shadows on any theme - tied to alpha issues again, I would guess.

Doesn't that change all icons in the folder? On the desktop you can do it by icon.

How about arbitrary images via cut and paste or something similar?

I can - but my students and clients would be unlikely to.

I can understand both sides of the issue...

The work around do not excuse the poor UI on this.

Hmmm, the image moves, but the icons behind did not get redrawn well. I would see the desktop image and then see the icons get re-added. Could be LiveCD issue though.

The *big* difference here, though, is that most people run only OS X compliant programs on OS X. The two distros I played with that had GNOME had lots of apps that came with it that were non-compliant.

Common tasks readily available without having to right click.

Say you have 5 icons in a folder. Click a button in OS X and the window becomes big enough to show all icons - but no bigger. A very cool feature.

Now if only OS X had a real maximize. :)

It allows you to have a script or program run based on what is happening with the folder - items being added, removed, renamed, etc.

This is not something a non-techy is likely to do, so perhaps should not have been on the list. Really would not matter to most of my students clients.

Thanks. Does not really help my students, but good to know it is likely to become more common over time.

I know some people who would likely benefit - but for me they are little more than a gee-whiz factor. :)

I am glad, truly, that you are here to enlighten me.

Yes, I did see that - and both OS X and XP have similar features (handled a bit differently).

OS X does this - though only to the right side of the dock. Keeps things organized. You can do similar things in XP. And, yes, I did find this, too. Not bad for such a short time playing, eh? :)

Not sure what a "session" is - other than the feature I have heard where you can save what programs are open, etc. That *is* a cool feature. Have read about it in COLA CSMA, but not played with it.

What is a vFolder? I would guess something like Smart Folders... which OS X will get with 10.4 (though does not have them now). OS X will even have them for the OS itself - very cool.
