Been ages since I posted any screenshots, mainly 'cos my desktop's a bit boring asthetically, although to use it rocks - like what Windows may be as good as in 10 years!

I have to say I wish I never had bought Vista, I've not even booted it in a month! Can now use Linux at work and home, and love the fact nothing goes wrong - no crashes, slowness or need to mess about searching for places to download applications. It makes my time when I need to use a PC hassle-free and I love the fact that it now can do everything I need - for example, until about 12 months ago I couldn't sync a Windows Mobile PDA with Linux and this was a showstopper for me, now setting up sync with Evolution is as incredibly easy - same goes for playing WoW, working well with office files (thanks to the excellent improvements in OO over the last couple of years), r/w of NTFS and the improvements in commercial applications and hardware support (i.e. Skype and webcams). Anyone who's involved in the development of Linux needs a pat on the back, I'll never be buying another Windows OS again - as it's leagues behind Gnu/L - even OSX is miles behind.

It's been great recently, I got a stack of Ubuntu CDs delivered and put them in my Uni's common room, now its use has spread like a virus and a good percentage of the reserch students/PhD students have switched, almost every week people tell me how much they prefer using it to Windows which makes me feel great.

I just wish I could fix a bug in Nautlus I've been working on for the last 2 weeks, as I started helping developing it in my spare time - some of the code is a nightmare to work on thanks to poor commenting. Any OSS developers please try and comment as much as possible - C is a bugger of a language if you have thousands of lines of code and only a few useless comments! I've spent the whole easter hols trying to get it fixed and only got a small way there.

Rant over!
