I did however, get the chance to download Unity 2010 Beta 2 and give it a go. I had some problems when booting because I was brought to a [...]

Unity-Linux.org
Planet.Unity-Linux.org
A new forum theme called SMFPress @ forum.unity-linux.org
Uniformity was the key ingredient to the stylings. I’m trying to match everything to the front page theme at the main site page. Using the color pallete from that site, I [...]

This gives [...]
