Nothing really special. Love the Windows Vista visual style though.

Here's my desktop in Windows: http://www.ibisaeg.mine.nu/skrivbord.jpg

I'll return with the one in Ubuntu Linux soon.
And here it is!: http://www.ibisaeg.mine.nu/Screenshot_Ubuntu.jpg

Linux?

You rock, man.

I made this one a couple days ago. I'll get the named version tomorrow.

Hehe, no, not really. Ubuntu is as easy as Windows to install, and almost everything works after too. Desktop Linux has come a long way the last year.

Agreed!

I use Linspire 4.59, my dad's got Five-O. I seriously wouldn't give it up for nothing. ^^

You should try Ubuntu

It's free and doesn't try to look like Windows so much.

I noticed it looked more like Mac. I like Mac! ^^

Curiosity, though. Did you have to install a special program to take the screenshot? I know in Linspire, you have to download a screenshot program from the Click-N-Run, unfortunetly, when I was going to do that, the CNR goes down on me. :roflol:

Hmm, might be better if we took the rest of the discussion after this over PMs, but ah well. Ubuntu uses Gnome as default, but you can of course install what ever Windowmanager/Desktop enviroment you like, KDE, XFCE etc. Linspire uses KDE I believe.

No, no additional program needed, just press Printscreen and it launches the Screenshot application. And since Ubuntu is based on Debian is has a really nice package system, Apt-get

You want to install XMMS? Just type "sudo apt-get install xmms" and voila!

Ubuntu doesn't have a root account enabled as default, you use sudo instead of su (Superuser do). Well, it's all on the homepage, read the Wiki and FAQ

Check the forums too, a great community: http://www.ubuntuforums.org.

I lost my CD with better pictures of Obadiah. And the day I was working on it too! I found it the day after. Turns out it was unlabeled.

But, they do look all chickeny, right Mizzanager Medli?

VSes rule. I have a Vista-ish one too, but mine is silver.

I had that VS on my old XP computer.

Did I hear Linux?! I must install FC4. Problem is, DVD I have is corrupted. -_-; *must find time to burn ISOs*
