Post your desktop!
Main rig, running an X session remotely from the freeBSD box as well.
This is at the san jacinto river, which runs east and south of my neighborhood.

Will, if that is the trend, we all want to move to Hal's place.
That wallpaper of Mike's is actually in my favorites @ deviantart.com: HMS Royal George by *Radojavor on deviantART edit: I also noticed at least 3 of us play COD4 lol. Mine isn't on the desktop or taskbar though...

Ya know, I think I'd give my left nut to have a back yard that looked like that.

luciferase75 already linked the image used as my wallpaper.
I highly suggest you check out Radojavor's DeviantART page. Radojavor's deviantART Gallery His stuff is just amazing. I just wish I didn't have to stretch some of his other stuff to fit my screen

Here is my desktop with a remote X session over SSH to freeBSD and fluxbox running, with that wallpaper:
It defaults to the widescreen since that is the primary. Love that wallpaper, the detail is insane. Love the colors too, because the theme there, the theme I use here, and the theme for my site are all nearly the same lol.

*Nix nerds represent.
I am a simple man. Ubuntu with a Gnome desktop. I like the cleanliness of it. I keep intending to switch distros. I'm not particularly happy with Ubuntu, but I'm too busy/lazy right now to be testing out a bunch of others to find one that I like and that works for me.

Try out LinuxMint. It is pretty much Ubuntu with all the third party apps pre-installed. It just works, and it works pretty well.
I wouldn't be able to post my screenshot right now. It is NSFW. Let's just say there are 6 Abby Winters girls standing in a stream... |

Nothing fancy, but I like it. (And no, that's not a porn site in the task bar. I keep those on a separate desktop)

That's kinda a difficult question.. which desktop?
I'm running RHEL4 for dev stuff/work stuff, but I am tied to a Windows XP VM to run the internal Windows only apps which won't run in Linux/Wine, and I usually need VNC viewers to 2ish machines open to monitor status.. so I don't really see my desktop. I'm not really sure which desktop I would even look for, since I have three taskbars, usually. I hadn't seen my Windows one in a while, so I minimzed FF and you can kinda see it in the corner. I usually have Outlook up full screen on that VM anyway, so I don't generally *see* a desktop.. it's just a lot of alt-tabbing and switching between machines.. At any rate, Windows has an Astronomy Picture of the Day of a full solar eclipse where the sun is visible and (oddly) purple around the edges. Had to redact a few things to protect the innocent.. -----Added 11/9/2008 at 07 : 06 : 20----- After I posted I was actually curious what my main machine's desktop was when I closed everything down, so I did and turns out.. it's just a plain black one. But if switch to desktop 2 and close everything, I have this:

I thought the Mac v. PC thread established that Mac users are evil and bad.
