GNU / Linux April 2008 Desktops - Posting Guidelines

* If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please try to keep it under 100k (It's recommended that you link it, externally).

* Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be.

* If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.

* Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.

* The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post images of a pornographic or otherwise provocative nature. We do not support a babes forum and neither will we in an unofficial capacity. Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.

* The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Rules.

* In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

Themes: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Wallpaper: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Icons: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

* Please use reduced-size thumbnails, where possible, out of respect for people running on lower bandwidth or screen resolutions.

Important Note: Any image posted that is over 800 x 600 will be removed! Use a thumbnail or use a text link to your image. If your image is removed, this is why.

Barney

Xubuntu, running Fluxbox as my Window Manager

A modified FluxAqua as my flux style

BOINC running on a different workspace

Transmission seeding all sorts of Open Source goodness (removed window decorations)

Pidgin (also without window decorations)

Conky as my resource monitor

Oh, and UT2k4 (retail) and Doom3 (demo) running, too.

Every few months I will post one. About the only thing that ever changes is my wallpaper. :p

I'm not big into constant retheming or anything like that.

Well if you wanna try something out I'd recommend Ubuntu. It's a good starting point. Also this month a new version is coming out. If you want wait till that comes out and download it. It is going to include a new feature that lets you install inside windows so that you dont have to touch partitions or your boot record. PM me if you want to know more, or just post up here I'm sure lots of people will be glad to help.
