Well said, Gigamesh! You have to be willing and able to spend some time learning and don't I know that well! Have not tried Opal but from the looks of it seemed decent! After I got into this building OS's am finally learning things! I also gained a much deeper respect for everyone that builds OS's and same seems to go for a great percentage of theme creators also! This is very very time consuming to build, but when you see the results you want, is incredible and beautiful! I had a deep respect for TheeMahn since day one that I used Ultimate, the edition was 3.4 back then. When I got on the wagon with his building OS's, I gained even more respect! Love all his posts as he knows what he is doing, unlike me at many points! Still, I guess at one point he had to also be where I am at, as to become as proficient as he is. Sometimes we learn more from the mistakes we make, then the successes! I remember countless hours spent on other Linux systems just to have the desktop working! When I got to Ultimate, it was a far cry above all the others had tried, was simply incredible, so yes the curiosity of how awesome it ran pretty much got me into all this building!!!! Love it though and will always appreciate all the help I have had here, wisdom and inspiration! I can not understand when someone does not give something a few tries before dismissing it! Life is short and have to try most you can and learn as much as possible! There was many OS's in Linux loaded over 4x before I simply decided was not worth another try. Sometimes just waiting a few hours to do a full format on a hard drive makes a world of a difference! Just have to have patience with all this stuff. You can not just get tipped and let it go or you learn nothing! Goes for any OS even the Xbox pusher system. I truly find that amazing on every one of those surface commercials that they all play Xbox games too! Maybe, I am in the wrong area and should just play games day in, day out!!!! Nope, will not happen! No challenge, games are hardly any fun anymore to me! Now learning and seeing stuff TheeMahn makes, is a thousand times more exciting!!!!!
