Thanks

I typically use a perl wrapper (i.e., daemon) for this sort of thing. The perl script starts up, detaches from the terminal, then loops indefinitely, waking up at some interval i specify to run my generic command. In your case, i might ps/pidof |grep Do Docky and relaunch it, if not running. If you're interested, i can dig up a skel of the perl daemon. the same thing can be done in bash, too, if that's more your thang.[/quote]

Thank you! I'd really appreciate it, I am not a programmer and a skel to start from would be a great help!

This is a default Ubuntu Desktop (Less 1 menu bar) using the Ubuntu Sunrise theme from this theme pack:

I am also using the Docky interface for Gnome-DO and the Gnome Global Menu, and four screenlets (The Slideshow to display pictures on the Desktop, the clock and the Ring System Monitor and a notepad.)

World of Warcraft
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Half Life 2 & Extras (Portal)
Nostales

I have. I just prefer Final Cut and unfortunately there just isn't anything quick like it for Linux.

LOL Yeah I used to do that, but I really missed the performance of fully installed systems. I actually use the last 2 partions as floater Linux play partitions and install what looks interesting there. Currently Fedora's installed, but more than likely Ill try mandy again for the hell of it. I primarily use Ubuntu and sometimes OSX for Video editing (My god I cant wait for decent video editing software for linux!)

The first drive is sliced up like this:

Win7 :: 200mb
Win7 :: 20gb
OSx :: 30gb
Ubuntu :: 922gb (Root=20gb, swap=2gb, home=900gb)
Fedora :: 462.8gb (Root=20gb, home=remainder)

I run everything through grub to handle the boot process.
