How to Create a Ubuntu LDS Christian Desktop Including Scriptural Software This is a step-by-step guide of the things I did to design a Ubuntu LDS Christian desktop including where you can find awesome Bible verse freeware on the Internet. In addition, I will share where you can to buy the marvelous authorized resource edition of the LDS scriptures and official study aids that you can install on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meek, which is a Linux operating system. 1. Therefore, the first thing I did was to find a beautiful desktop picture of Jesus to replace "Ole" purple, which is the default background of Ubuntu. So I used Google to search the Internet for a picture of him on the Internet and I found two really wonderful pictures of the Savior and his visit to the ancient Nephites. However, before I give you the Web site address of where you can find such marvelous pictures of him, I am going to share with you how to Google to find LDS Christian backgrounds. For example, rather than search using only “LDS or Mormon backgrounds,” I added to it 1024x768, that is, this is the proper size of image to fit the screen resolution of Ubuntu. I found photographs of our modern-day prophets, but I did not find any images of Jesus using this screen resolution. Futher more, I went a step further and I searched for "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 1024x768 backgrounds.” Therefore, this is the Web site where you can find the two pictures of our Lord: TurnbacktoGod.com. 2. Before you complete the next step, bring up Ubuntu Help and Support by left clicking on the main menu, then on System, and lastly on Help and Support. Please do not exist help and support! Leave it up because you are going to need it later 3. Since you are using Ubuntu, you may want to get rid of the top panel on the desktop if you dislike its appearance as I did. To remove the top panel, just right-click on it and then on "Remove Panel." You can delete the bottom panel, however, you can make it transparent by right clicking on the panel, Properties, and then slide the style button to the left where it says, "Transparent." That is it, no more panels! 4. You can find Bible software at Vladimirrybant.org.The program is called Bible Verse Desktop 3.0 and it is a flash window that randomly changes to a new Bible verse automatically after so many seconds or minutes. You can configure how often it changes to a new scripture and the actual flash window’s appearance such as the type of font and background color you like. 5. You also can buy and install the CD-ROM version of the authorized resource edition of the LDS scriptures and official study aids on Ubuntu. The latest version of this can be bought online at Deseretbook.com. 6. What is important to understand about the LDS scriptures and Bible Verse is that they are both Windows applications so you will need to know how to install them on Ubuntu using a crossover tool called Wine. Therefore, refer to the following Web site to install Wine on Ubuntu: Winehq.org. I recommend you install Wine 1.2 which is the stable version of this Ubuntu package. Then go to Winehg.org Help and find out how to use Wine. You can also Google it and find a great deal of information about using this tool. 7. That is about it! Now remember the Ubuntu Help and Support I asked you to keep up. Okay, now it may be necessary that you add application shortcuts (icons) on your new desktop. This depends on whether you end up with no icons on your computer after you removed the top panel and hid the bottom one. It is your choice because you can add or delete icons anytime you want. In addition, you can add a system menu shortcut (the Ubuntu logo) or any other available system shortcuts. Please go to Help and Support , then Customizing Your Computer, and lastly, Customizing Your Panels. Therefore, last of all I hope your new desktop is pleasing to your eyes and spirit.

If you are using Ubuntu, you may want to get rid of the top and bottom panels if you dislike their appearance like I did. To remove the top panel, just right click on it and then on "Remove Panel." I do not think you can delete the bottom panel, however, you can make it transparent by right clicking on the panel, Properties, and then slide the style button to the left where it says, "Transparent." That is it!

I disagree with the post. I made some suggestions and ideas and the member disagreed with those, therefore, so it is in life.

Ubuntu and Google This is about finding LDS oriented backgrounds and my Google it experience. Therefore, let me share a suggestion that may work for you. The first thing I did was to find a desktop background of Jesus to replace "Ole" purple, which is the default background of the latest Ubuntu edition called Maverick Meek. So I Goggled to find a background on the Internet and I found two really good backgrounds of the Savior and his visit to the Nephites. However, before I give you the Web address of these backgrounds, I want to teach you how to Google for finding LDS oriented backgrounds. Rather than searching using solely LDS or Mormon backgrounds, add to that search 1024x768 (this is the resolution size needed) and themes. Then I went a step further than this and I searched for "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 1024x768 backgrounds.” And I got this Web site: Jesus Christ Wallpaper sized images – Set 03 This is where you will find the two backgrounds of our Lord.

The Linux Operating System: Ubuntu, Puppy, and Other Distributions This is a new thread I am starting to share ideas about what I know concerning the Linux OS and how to find goodies on the Internet to create a unique Mormon desktop. Check this tread often for new ideas.

I understand that my posted is a bumped one now. I now know I should of started a new thread. May I start a new thread with a new post with information - not being the teacher - about some of the LDS resources available for the Ubuntu desktop which I have seen on the Internet?

Anyone interested in changing your Ubuntu 10.10 desktop to the true gospel of Jesus Christ theme and create scripture applications with Wine 1.2.1? No, this is not a new edition of Ubuntu, it is simply changes I have made to create a spiritual LDS environment for myself. I do not have time to show you right now, however, I will post here how I did it in the next couple of days. Ubuntu for Mormons!
