Just got FreeBSD running with Xfce4. I have been running Ubuntu (with Gnome) for the last couple of years and liking it so far. Wanted to try something different on another hard drive. I like the simplicity, but am quite spoiled by all of the pre-packaged goodies on a Linux distro.

Edit:

Here's my Ubuntu desktop with Gnome:

So I came across the Calvin and Hobbes comic and couldn't resist putting it as my desktop.

Because who doesn't love a bit of unsafe vehicles, hills and philosophy?

Primary Monitor: http://www.mattshelton.net/2008/02/22/do-your-work-dont-be-stupid/ Very self-explanatory. Unfortunately, I ignore its advice all too often. :roll:

Now, as "~~wasting~~ spending some time on the internet" is taken care of, i can focus on studying for my exams next week

The left half of the icons is for making stuff, the right half is miscellaneous, and the dragon was the first fractal I programmed.

P.S:Tyrian Purple is a great color.

This is a sentence, it contains words and letters, which will allow me to submit.

I like to keep things plain. If you're curious that's Venice, I didn't hold the camera still enough when it decided it needed to keep the shutter open for a while but I still really like the picture.

Linux desktop by transitmapsetc, on Flickr

Main wallpaper and all wallpapers (yes, I have 9 workspaces. 4 is too few and I like them to be arranged in a square).

(If anyone would happen to want one of these wallpapers, just ask and I'll upload it for you)

by **a_fuzzyduck** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:51 pm UTC

Doesn't the typo annoy you?

Yeah, but I figured I'd leave it as punishment as I'd only be seeing it when I should be revising and wasn't.

I've spent all morning installing customization software, downloading wallpapers and configuring shell replacements before arriving at what I believe to be the perfect synthesis of computer functionality and design.

I really like that shot, any chance you could send me the full size version or get the name of the airport?

I've had this one for a while now.

Um...so about that earlier figure of odds of having the same desktop. You do realize you should be taking the number of possible colors for each pixel, to the power of how many pixels their are...From Wolfram:

My desktop's not particularly interesting, but for 10 points, Perdido Street Station?

*gives Sam 10 points*

My desktop is a slideshow, but here's a nice one, screenshotted.

(I hide all icons and auto-hide the taskbar.)

by **felltir** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:32 am UTC

Doublepost for two attatchments: with taskbar unhidden.

My background folder has 348 items in it. :/

by **rhetorical** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 5:33 pm UTC

Here's mine. Contrasts nicely with the Black Mesa wallpaper earlier on this page.

I like that clock, what exactly is it?

by **tastelikecoke** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 5:27 am UTC

here's mine, at least at this current time-space, since my desktop wallpaper is a slideshow.

Exams are once again approaching so back out of the folder it comes, hopefully spelt right this time...
