I'm proud to say that this is my first time posting in the GNU/Linux Desktops topic(s). This is my Blackbook running openSUSE 11.1 GNOME.

I put linux on my macbook pro and macbook and I just couldn't stand the one button that annoyed me, you can change all the settings so 2 fingers and click is the same as OS X and all the rest but it just doesn't feel the same, very disappointed I didn't like it :(

I agree, it's been a pretty frustrating ride, but I decided to switch over to an actual USB mouse whenever I log in to linux. I just disabled the trackpad entirely. I'm still trying to work out some kinks, namely the wireless driver not working, but other than that, it's a pretty solid system. I'm actually enjoying it (more so than any other distro I've tried) a lot.

EDIT: However, If you run it through Parallels, your mouse and network drivers will work exactly as you want them to. I could never get the video device to run as smoothly as a real install though. Parallels is great if you want to tinker with it and get a feel for the system. Also, LiveCDs are a nice intro as to what they would feel like on your actual hardware though.

Ubuntu on my new Samsung NC-10 netbook:

Offtopic, but how do you like that netbook?

I am seriously considering an ASUS eee 901-ish in the very near future.

Nah, never played it actually, just saw it and decided it'd make a cool WP,

Anyways here's another

Anyone else knows what theme is that?

A link to the wallpaper would be nice. :)
