Red Hat, Farnborough

Directions

Red Hat's offices are located on the Farnborough Business Park.

Address is: Red Hat Europe, 200 Fowler Avenue, Farnborough Business Park, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 7JP

When on Fowler Avenue, look for the large hangar structure. There are two buildings next to it and Red Hat is the one nearest to Fowler Avenue. You can park in front of it - the entrance is round the side, facing the other building.

Eyecandy for Root in Linux Mint

 After adding a theme to my desktop I noticed that the programs that run as root (Synaptic, log viewer, etc) all had the relatively ugly default GTK look (ugly_pic.png)

I created the .themes and .icons directories and copied the contents of the ones in my home directory into them.

sudo mkdir /root/.themes 
sudo mkdir /root/.icons 
sudo cp -r /home/${USER}/.themes/* /root/.themes sudo 
cp -r /home/${USER}/.icons/* /root/.icons

I'm sure there may be more directories that need to be copied for other themes.
