We’re back!

First off, I’m sorry I more or less let this blog die, it was a horrible thing to do, although while moving over information to an actual server, my grid died, which took a while.

Anyway, we moved over to WordPress as well as changed our name, I give you Heretic Studios!

Let the information sharing continue! I hope you guys enjoy the content, oh and don’t forget to tell your friends about us here at Heretic Studios, .

Since it is that time of year, everyone is getting ready to back to a long year of school, netbooks are a big craze, so I figured I’d put out a guide on how to make one in particular, the Acer Aspire One a bit more useful!

First off, I know there are a lot of guides on how to enable system access, but I think this guide is going to be a lot easier/faster than other guides, if not just by a few steps, .

I’m hoping guide will be the cleanest and as simple as possible while teaching some common use linux commands that you will be using in the future when using the device. A few of these commands are trivial, but in my opinion are critical in having a smooth quick experience.

So, the first step to setting up the desktop right click behavior is to actually show the XFCE control center, this can be done simply through how we’re going to launch the terminal, but in order to save time, lets just launch it through Terminal, this is because we’re going to have to set a root password through terminal as well.

While holding ALT press F2, this will bring up an application run dialog, type in “terminal”, then hit run or enter.

One terminal is open (don’t be afraid, trust me, this is your best friend in linux, and if you’re experienced enough, you can perform tasks much faster through terminal than the standard desktop interface, as well as the XFCE linpus modded desktop) type “sudo passwd”, then after this put in a password that you want to be used with root; this is needed especially if you plan on using the application installer gui within the system.

After this, type in “xfce-settings-show” and press enter, the settings dialog will show up. Click Desktop options, then the Behavior tab, lastly Check the Right Click behavior, this will allow you to run applications downloaded as well as provide simple access to the settings and much more.

And that’s it really, you can now run the Add/Remove application program or install from terminal through yum (I’m really a fan of Debian based systems myself, but at the price of boot time on the One, the best thing to do is stick to Linpus…but you can still have some fun…).
