With ebola out of the pawnshop I decided now was as good a time as any to restore the factory vista install and then reinstall Sabayon GNU/Linux. That all went reasonably well. Only issue with SL 3.5 L3 was that the installer didn't give me the option for installing grub on /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sda. I needed to as my /boot is sdb1 and with the raid0 setup it's what was needed. Not a major issue once the install was finished and it just continued to boot direct to windows I just reboot in to System Rescue CD and added grub to the remaining location and we were dual-booting happily.

Anyhow so I only use Vista for playing Command and Conquer 3. So my I spend all my time in the linux playing with crap in Virtual Machines flashing routers and just being a geek. So yeah I spent a good day getting everything dialed in on the interface. Focus follows mouse. Found the smoothest cleanest animations for all the compiz settings. It all functions quite nicely on this laptop but since we do the dynamic CPU speed thing sometimes the animations speeds get flakey.... but the fade always looks nice and crisp so that's what a few of them are set to now.

Anyhow here's screenshots of just the look. With SL3.5L3 things work great. Ecstatic about how things are progressing over there. They're getting funding... and they've moved away from that god awful red/yellow branding and adopted a nice blue. That works for me because the laptop has blue led's so it encourages me to go with a blue theme too.
