Post your desktop

Well. I don't want to go offtopic, but here comes the answer. I think it worth a try. No, not *buntu or something like that, cause you will start to hate it ever since you start it. :) I have 3 partitions on my main HDD. First (/dev/sda1) is the main partition, ext3, for Linux /. Second (/dev/sda2) is the swap area for linux (even it never uses it.. just in case). The last on is an NTFS /dev/sda3 for WIN XP. You never know when you will need it.

So mainly its not a problem to have 2 different OS on ONE HDD. Its perfectly safe. I can choose what I want to start at boot. So.. You can have many different Desktop Environments. Mine is KDE. Its based on QT by Trolltech. I prefer this more, cause you can find every options, customization thing in seconds. Gnome is the other. I hate it, but still, I work with it sometimes, cause my friend is blind, and he is using Linux+ORCA as screen reader.

Its time to stop I think, I can write pages about the whole stuff. :) It would be better to PM me, and I can give some IM address, or just answer back. Whatever you want.

(Sorry for being offtopic. :))

On those desktop environments, GNOME and KDE aren't the only ones. Remember, the xwindow environment has stuff like fluxbox, xfce, blackbox, fvmm2 and twm available for its use.

Slackware 12.1 is my Linux of choice for servers [initial config, save, forget], Ubuntu is my recommendation for people really new to the scene, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with mid skills. But it's a good way to slowly transition away from Windows. I wouldn't go Fedora anymore either.

I use XP on my laptop, as I need to remember all sorts of shite for supporting customers at work, and WinShit servers.

Vista on my desktop, because everything else crashes [the parts were made for Vista...]

Slackware on my server in my spare room.

You go that from the guy who posted the 4scrape thing on 4chan the other night didn't you?

True, there are other WMs. But those are not DM like KDE and Gnome or XFCE. There are WMs like kwin(kde default), fluxbox, twm, and so on just as you said. By the way maybe Ubuntu is a good choice, personally I hate it. I think that just give a reason to hate linux at first try. Fedora is a bleeding edge dist, what is not updated correctly and so on so its really follows an idiotic way of "developing".

Hahh I tried Slackware yesterday.. uhm.. to be honest I won't change my Debian. :) Gentoo stands the closest to that after Debian, but since it have too old packages in stable, and too buggy in testing, this idea failed.
(sry for being offtopic :P)

Yep... fan of rosario vampire :P

maybe, iono. I've had it for awhile.

Try not to lol at all the h-game icons on the right side of it.

lol, NWN is an h-game now?

Only if you know where to go. e_e

I laughed at it when I took the screenshot. e_e

Touche. I don't use Ubuntu, but I think it's a great place to start for complete newbies, because it's shiny and easy. Then they can slowly dip their feet in the water of configs, and finally break out and play with some serious builds.

Of course, for people who have computer knowledge, experience and have brains I'd recommend other distros.

Fedora is just a testing ground for the Enterprise environments. Srsly.

Don't worry about going off topic, it's Random. People often don't hold the right topic.

Anyone else here a fan of pie?

this video explains all in the end.

I like lemon pies a good deal.

I'm partial to chocolate creme.
