A note about Java:

I noticed that there was no java command when I first installed this by copying the compressed image into a spare partition. I needed to run "sudo update-alternatives --config java" at which point I could then choose the correct runtime and the "java" command was created.

This is REALLY nice. LXDE impresses me

Actually, another note for that one:
You can lower the font size! Go to the Appearance preferences. On the Window page (no idea why it's called that...) there is a Font button to the bottom left. Yay!

And for the uninitiated, it may interest you to know that with GTK, the various themes there affect performance since they are each powered by different theme engines.


Funny error message of the day:
"gcj-dbtool4.3 succeeded unexpectedly" :P
