That's why I am looking for one in almost all my reviews.<br />You have a funny trick about the setxkbmap. I disagree about "just an issue with the live system". It is not, because I need to type both languages in every system. Of course, I can set up the keyboard configuration for X-server, but that's a 20th century, isn't it? We live in 21st.<br />Очень приятно, что Вы тоже иногда пишете по-русски.DarkDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128579430145372138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-88729532097549540362012-02-14T10:08:30.152+00:002012-02-14T10:08:30.152+00:00I completely agree.

When I use 'setxkbmap ru' - not that I do it often, but, иногда нужно - I write 'setxkbmap dk' on the terminal line above it to have it in history. Just a habit from the old days, I guess. It should be mentioned that you set your default keyboard when you run the Fedora installer - so it is just an issue with the live system.<br />In my case, using the import command for screenshots is simply because I do it so rarely that I did not feel a need to install an application for it.Morten Juhl-Johansen Zölde-Fejerhttp://writtenandread.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-13744508366148272162012-02-13T22:02:03.837+00:002012-02-13T22:02:03.837+00:00I did not know that Fedora includes imagemagick. T...I did not know that Fedora includes imagemagick. Thanks for letting me know. But anyway, graphical environment is better with graphical tools, isn't it?<br />Same valid for setxkbmap.<br />There are 2 more issues with direct usage of setxkbmap: 1) it does not activate keyboard layout indicator in the status bar, and 2) once setxkbmap ru is entered, you can't type <i>setxkbmap en</i>, because there are no Latin characters!<br />You maybe right about HTML5. Probably YouTube is not the best place to test the Flash playback now. 8-(DarkDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128579430145372138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-76376404119290614112012-02-13T14:24:08.373+00:002012-02-13T14:24:08.373+00:00I use F16 Lxde as my everyday system these days, i...I use F16 Lxde as my everyday system these days, it has worked well for me.

Unetbootin didn't have an option for Fedora 16, so I just used the USB / ISO combination.

So far, LXDE is looking good, at least for a traditional desktop computer. I suggest that users - whose preference is to start with a basic system and then add applications of their choice - give it a try. There probably are better choices for anyone looking for a light-weight distro; F16 LXDE has a good bit of Gnome "under the hood".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
