Initial problems with OpenSUSE - help!

user · January 13, 2009, 11:36pm

So I installed Gnome OpenSUSE 11.1 onto my Dell Inspiron 1501, and I’m
having some trouble with basic aesthetics. Here’s what I want to do:

Enable the Compiz cube.
Enable Avant Window Manager.
Move the bottom panel to the top and delete the window
manager(Avant will take care of that).
Enable Emerald.
Get the Microsoft fonts (Times New Roman and all that).

Is there any one place where I can get this information? There are so
many different help desks that I have no idea which one to use.

Thanks!

This should start you in the right direction
‘HOWTOs - openSUSE’ (http://en.opensuse.org/HOWTOs)

If you have a copy of windows you can just copy the fonts folder and
put it in /usr/share/fonts/‘name the folder msfonts’

use config desktop (not sure what/where on this as I use kde) to add
the fonts
