scoonNow that I've got the #scumbaglappy up and running (and customised to the nth degree) I've decided to take a crack at learning some code on the raspberry pi
ScoonNow that the #scumbaglappy is up and running, configured the way I like it, has all the programs I want installed... I'm bored :(

So I removed the branding from the #scumbaglappy today.
Because it's not a Dell any more; it's a SCUMBAG (TM).
Looks quite good having just a clean circle on the back. Might still cover it with a sticker anyway.
Make it ugly. Make it work. Make it yours.

@rotate Thanks for the tip, it looks great.
The #scumbaglappy is running waaay better now, too.
So, that was fun. After a couple of hours XFCE looks and functions mostly like Cinnamon did straight out of the box. Some things are still missing though; system sounds, ability to remap capslock to mute, other minor things.
The upside is that it''s easier on the RAM than Cinnamon.
Normally not an issue, but I'm working with the #scumbaglappy
That's a testament to the power of Linux - breathing new life into old (shitty, broken, cheap) hardware.

So just as I get everything set up exactly the way I like it, I find that Cinnamon keeps maxing out the RAM on my Scumbag laptop... all 2G of it π
So now I've had to install XFCE instead. The online consensus seems to be that it's awesome once it's customized, but we'll see. It's definitely much more lightweight, that's for sure.
