    Show us your desktop

    I now have Ubuntu running on 5 of the 7 machines on the property, and have introduced several friends to the OS.
    They are as amazed as I am.

    With that, I'd get a kick outta seeing some of your desktops (shrunk down to something reasonable, say 800x600).

    Here's my uncluttered Ubuntu 9.04 desktop on my main computer ... background is a pic of a sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean
    as viewed from Hatteras Island a couple of years ago. I really like some of the applets that you can run on the taskbars. On
    the top, I am using the hardware sensors applet to monitor my CPU & MB temps, and the processor cooling fan speed:

Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    Mine's a bit more understated, I just use a gradient instead of a background image.

    Cool Luke! Way Cool!
    Now pick any one of the space pictures I posted and that is my desktop. Right now it is the two planet halo nebula.

    I rotate mine pretty frequently, and often use some of the many Hubble and
    space shuttle pics I have.

    Jeff, don't you gimp? I run 1280x960, but I scaled my image down to 800x600.

    I like your desktop switcher on the top taskbar ... been kicking that around myself!

    Wider is only better on Pontiacs ...

    Hell yeah! There are a number Ubuntu backgrounds online with some really hot ladies on them!

    I usually only use those in my "man cave" however, out of respect for the little lady, who,
    interestingly enough, isn't put off by that sort of thing at all. I netted a good one ... not a
    jealous bone in her body!
