The Texan has a picture of a serene (presumably Texan) river, the Californian of a serene beach, and the NCarolinian of a lightning storm. Does that mean that Cybermike lives i the 1580s?

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...

I highly suggest you check out Radojavor's DeviantART page. Radojavor's deviantART Gallery

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.

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...

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..

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:

Could be. Or maybe their iScreenshot application only allows them to post their screenshots to iTunes.
