Welcome to my first podcast for Hacker Public Radio.

<li>Like Gnome 3? Good for you.
</li>
<li>Don't like Gnome 3 or like Gnome 2 more? Then, get a Linux distro with the Mate desktop. Mate desktop was forked from Gnome 2. Gnome 2 development was stopped by the Gnome 3 team.</li>
<li>After installing the Mate desktop, install the Nimbus theme and Compiz desktop effects.<br />

   I don't have the 32-bit edition.

<li>Have a USB wireless modem? Use wvdial or gnome-ppp with "stupid mode" enabled.</li>
<li>Change gnome-terminal color scheme to Green-On-Black and the the following line to your .bashrc for a colorful and usable terminal window.

<li>Install CMU fonts from<br />
   <a href="https://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/~panov/cm-unicode/">https://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/~panov/cm-unicode/</a></li>
<li>Download Google fonts using this bash script
   <pre>wget https://googlefontdirectory.googlecode.com/hg/ofl/ -r -nc -nd -np -A.ttf</pre>
   This command takes a while to parse all the pages and find the fonts that need to be downloaded.<br />
