When I installed the lck patchset from http://www.plumlocosoft.com/kernel/, I found it contained a patch
named "bootsplash" which displays an image and a progress bar when
booting just like Windows XP. Unlike Windows XP, this boot splash is
themeable and you get the verbose mode with a nice tux in the
background by pressing F2 ;). Searching for the debian packages of the
userspace tools, I found them at mentors.debian.net. There were also
some themes, but I didn't like them, so I downloaded this one from
kdelook.org and made my own package. It's a nice clean theme with no
animations and just a progress bar. To install the theme, you should
first install some packages from mentors.debian.net. Add the following
to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
# debian mentors
deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
then do apt-get update and apt-get install bootsplash
sysv-rc-bootsplash. If your kernel isn't already patches for
bootsplash also install kernel-patch-bootsplash.
After that, download the theme from here and install with dpkg
-i. You can switch themes with dpkg-reconfigure bootsplash.

SuSE came out with a patched lilo making great-looking animated and
interactive bootscreens possible. This package contains Debian's
lilo with the SuSE patches applied. It replaces Debian's original
lilo package. It's intended to be used with Debian 3.0 (woody) but
works for me also with the current testing/unstable dists.
Attention: Create a boot floppy before you install this package!
It works fine for me, but I will not give any guarantees about it
working on YOUR system. I made this package just for myself, but
then thought it might be useful to others, too.

bootscreens and help about creating your own.

Since I really liked fvwm, because it is an incredible fast window
manager, I started tweaking fvwm's look. So I ended up with a very
simple light-weight GTK-Theme, some pixmaps created with the GIMP
and a set of fvwm-configfiles. Feel free to download all of that
stuff and play with it. The GTK-Theme needs the xenophilia-engine
to be installed.

Remember those old monochrome terminals? And I do not mean the movie
"matrix", I mean the green monitors that were commonly used long before
:). I think they look kind of cool, so I got the idea to change linux
to use green as the primary color. The patch changes the VGA
textconsole as well as the framebufferconsole. It worked with 2.4.18
and 2.4.19, I think other kernels should work, too. If you want some
other color than green, just change the 2 permutations
"m_colors".
Install patch with
# cd /usr/src/linux
# patch -p1 <~/patch-linux-2.4-greenterminal

This package contains a pevents.conf and some perl-scripts and makes
X-Chat look like BitchX, which greatly improves "coolness"
:) Installation instructions are found inside the Package (*nix and
windoze). I created it for xchat 1.8.9, so don't blame me when it
doesn't work with earlier versions. Thanks to Vetinari who wrote a
basic bx-whois script from which I started creating this theme.

This script started es an ordinary simple xmms announce script and
then grew really fast. Now you can let others download the mp3s, you
are listening to. you can set some channels for auto-announcing, you
can control xmms remotely (play/stop/pause/track+/track-) and you can
search your playlist from within xchat and jump to a track.

This script just does the GHOST automatically when you try to change
to a nick registered by you and currently in use. For networks with
services.

EuIRC. Originally written by yath.
I just added a fix for the default theme and ported the patch to the recent
