most fugly desktop ever, i don't even know why i wasted my precious time try this crap....
lesson of the day: stop customizing your desktop to look like other os esspecially windows :)
i'm wondering why ubuntu nowadays really like to experimenting with new no-so-user friendly stuffs
it really start to bothering me since the new notification position in karmic and now they're planning to release ubuntu with some gay mac-ish look?
sometimes, change is good in order to refresh how the os feel and give user better experience.
i myself like the previous brown color which people will notice that "it's the color of ubuntu" and have no objection toward new purple color
but do ubuntu really need to be make it to look like some mac os clone so much? i mean seriously.. the new default theme... with single top panel taskbar, background wallpaper, and now left window button?
eventhough some might says it's not try to mimic mac os but "just accidentally look the same"
oh... tell me, which eyes will believe that?
remember that almost everyone know how mac os look like compared to how *ubuntu looked like!
so what's next? change mouse button to click like mac too?
just want to share with you all a good documentation about our home (earth) and how we (human) hurting it
this is definitely good show to waste 1 hour and 33 min of your time on youtube 
"what do we know about life on earth?"
watch it on youtube now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU
btw, if you're malaysian.. check out part 50:00. do you know where is that? he he he
added: ok.. after watching this yesterday night this show make me realize about something.
i notice that all those nation (except dubai) that harvested the earth raw material is all now in third class country.
they can't even feed their own citizen.
so... where the hell all those benefits from our mother earth went to?
well let me tell you, it goes to all those invader nations (western country). they conquer other countries, force local people to harvest raw material until almost depleted and leave (by giving them independence) ;)
after hundred years of destroying the earth, did you see in that video how they (the guilty nation) never learn. now they're contributing the most of carbon dioxide emissions to the air....lead to global warming and so on...
now let me ask this,
"what do you know about your ancestor crime to earth?"
if you have try to compile a kernel before, you will know how boring the process is!
it get more boring and annoying when you need to disable/enable certain thing in .config or doing some patches you need to recompile the whole thing again
so here, i want to share something that i've learned alot during my experience in wasting time compiling rt preempt kernel for my el-cheapo laptop...
if you want to recompile any changes that you make to the source like some security patch. you can quickly recompile everything that changed like this. (debian style)
rm -rf debian/stamp # clean stamp build
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 fakeroot make-kpkg \
--revision=0.1 kernel-image kernel-headers
note you need to use same --revision=0.1 everytime you do this.. so just pick one number that you wont forget. 0.1 sound good
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 mean using multi thread in compiling. if you have 4 core processor change it into 5 and so on. it's core+1
another quick workaround that might be handy when you're working on latest kernel from 2.6.31 to 2.6.32 where you get error version missmatch. this is due to build script looking for utsrelease.h but it doesn't exist in include/linux folder anymore. you can either symlink it to
./include/generated/utsrelease.h
ln -s ./include/generated/utsrelease.h ./include/linux/utsrelease.h
or just create the file and add yourself the kernel version. in my case
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.33-rt4"
another tips is that, never remove original kernel. you will never know if anything break with your newly compiled kernel until you reboot and see it for yourself to see if it really working. mostly... check your wireless see if it's really working or not (based on my bad experience 
)
ok hope i can share something here...
