Make mint look like win 7

Posted on 2013-12-10 by Paul Sutton

I found this while just researching how to do this, after seeing it for myself

http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1173

Looks very useful, esp if you want to help new users migrate from win7 to Linux and help may transition smooth.  Or at least try to 🙂

What the event is all about, the Raspberry Pi.

Upon arrival simon had already set up an interesting demo,

chimer2 chimer1

This project is essentially a frame and windchimes,  being sounded by some motors with wire sticking up, so that when the motor rotates, it hits the chime,  this is all controlled via a raspberry pi, the laptop I think is there to provide a remote link to the Pi.

But on a related note these links may be of interest.
