oh good, i'm not the only person who finds the orignal ubuntu theme a little glary. open synaptic [system - admin - synaptic package manager] and search for "theme" i found a bunch of gtk themes and icon themes in there. its easier than downloading and installing them individually form the net. ubuntume (muslim edition) is quite pretty but i don't like the arabic writing under the mouse because i can't read it. you just right click the desktop and choose "change desktop background" then go to the themes tab.

Lets hope that APC comes good and fixes it by giving us a link where we can email our detail to get a new copy of the DVD that includes the Mint files.

!!!!!!!!DO NOT INSTALL Zenwork 5.2 from the DVD!!!!!!! it is also corrupt. this time its more elusive it installs about half-way through and then it pops up with errors saying something along the line of "file missing" after closer inspection, the zenwork iso from the DVD is only 295MB it should be close to approx 500MB apc must be cutting the budget in its DVD department. now i'm VERY VERY angry.

Hi all, It has been drawn to our attention that a production error on the APC August 2008 DVD resulted in the inclusion of incomplete versions of Linux Mint 5 and Zenwalk 5.2. We regret this error and apologise for any inconvenience it has caused. APC will put working versions of these two distributions on the next available DVD (which, due to production factors, will be the November issue). Sorry guys - and thanks for the heads-up. Kind regards, Peter DVD Editor
