Saw a 'post your desktop' thread here a few days ago, but all I saw in it was osx and windows.. so, for you linux users out there: post your desktop.
I'm not going to post mine just yet because this is a clean kubuntu install and I haven't tweaked it too much, but I will later on. |

I would like the original |

That is cool though Yes I'm a nerd. But my wife has nice boobies :) |

Info on setup and apps? I plan to try a linux when i settle on a distro and figure out how to pre load everything onto a 4gb thumb drive. I know it burns resources but i like the looks of that layout and the system monitor. Those cubes are neat too. |
Just the default Linux Mint 8 "Helena" desktop, slightly modified Gnome Panel at the bottom (replaced Tomboy Notes with gedit and added a Firefox icon). |

I know it burns resources but i like the looks of that layout and the system monitor. Those cubes are neat too. I've had a shit ton of distros on that laptop but I settled on Linux Mint because A. it was the best balance of everything I wanted and B. because it was one of the few where everything worked from the get-go. I didn't have to figure out a fix for Wireless drivers or anything like that. Hell even my HP quickplay buttons worked 100% from the beginning. Most people wouldn't give a shit about that but it's one of those things that gets under my skin if they just sit there not doing anything. I'll do screenshots of my cube in a little while. The system monitor is Conky and the bar at the bottom is the Avant Window Navigator. EDIT: Here's a video I made last year to show a friend of mine some of the Compiz effects. My cube setup doesn't look like this now but you get an idea of how much you can do with it. I don't really find any of it all that useful but it's fun to play with. EDIT #2: Well that didn't work, I'll have to upload it somewhere else. |

Quoted: Interesting. Which version do you have? I see on the website that they have a Main, Universal, KDE and XFCE version. I use CentOS on my laptop running KDE but want to try something new.Quoted: Info on setup and apps?

Haven't upgraded yet, not sure if I will, I'm pretty happy with 7 and barring any major positive changes in 8 I'll probably just stick with 7. |

The old video from earlier. Might look fucked up, Youtube doesn't seem to like the fact that it was shot in widescreen. EDIT: Cubecap isn't completely work safe so I'll just play it safe and link it instead of embedding it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvbcdx4JW6Y |

What weather app are you running there? On what phone? So far I'm not a fan of Windows mobile on my HTC Touch Pro. |
