Karmic Koala

I upgraded to Karmic Koala recently, and I’m digging how fast it is. It also has a bunch of nifty backgrounds (which you see here to the left in my screen shot).

I´m not digging Empathy though. I’ll probably install Pidgin and make that my default chat program when I have time.

In the image to the left, I´m using the Token icon set with my Avant Window Navigator. I´ve also made a custom blend of the iNiZe and Meliae icons for my other menus. And of course, I’m still using the Scaled Black Mod Emerald Theme.

Generally the reviews for Karmic are good. Although the hype right now is around Chrome OS. People who romanticize open source will probably be upset at this article, but they typically forget how OpenOffice is backed by Sun Microsystems, and that Suse is backed by Novell. The outcome of Chrome will probably be a pretty darn good OS, but as an author at PC World notes… we’ll become even more dependent on Google
