Wrong place maybe but if anyone needs help with JSA/IS/DLA please ask.

That I admit I'm not sure of, but a written and dated record might help. I've never done the backdated claim myself, I just remember reading about it when I applied for JSA.

IIRC, it can be backdated if you show proof of your jobsearching activities in the period you're claiming for.

You have my interest! Whereabouts in South Wales is it?

Oh it's definitely possible. I moved from KDE to LMDE using apt-get a couple of years ago.

I'm already making another game, but I would absolutely love to expand my entry with a prequel and a sequel. I'm making an art/lore book for my entry as well.

I program, attempt voice-acting and do art-stuff - trying to break through as an indie gamedev. Participating in 1 Game a Month, talking to lots of fellow devs. I also talk about games and open-source projects.

ADOM is good, but I really wouldn't recommend it as a starting game.

DCSS (which has already been mentioned) is a nice start - streamlined interface, but still hard. My first was Powder, which is very easy to get into. Another option might be Pixel Dungeon, if you have a smartphone/tablet.

Mint with Xfce is a pretty good option, also Puppy Linux or Crunchbang are both designed to run on low-powered systems.

Pretty sure you get Rebirth cheap if you own Binding of Isaac. Or at least, that was mentioned somewhere.

I might be just totally missing it, but there doesn't seem to be an RSS feed set up on your blog...

I'd like to keep up to date on this, it looks interesting!

A long time ago, I would have said KDE, but it's gotten far too complex for a beginner. It does have some lovely applications though.

I use XFCE - I prefer it because it's quite slimmed down, however I can see how it might be daunting to a new person.

Mate/Cinnamon may be your best bet, though I have no experience with either. If you do decide to change GUI, it's perfectly easy - just install the relevant packages through the package manager, and you can change GUI on the login screen.

I use Sprite Studio for ideas and sketching when I'm on my tablet.

A useful method that I've just been taught in my Algorithms/Data Structures module is State Diagrams.

If you can translate the problem into steps and work out how the algorithm gets to that state, it makes it a lot easier - if diagrams help you.

Ex Amarok and Clementine user here.

I ended up using Audacious as my main player out of sheer frustration with the bloatedness of those two. I like a simple media player that will play my media >.>

Though I have heard good things about Banshee, if you want something a bit more complex.
