How about a Linux gallery?
- Thread starter cb_linus
- Start date
The kicker is that that's KDE 3.5.* which came out in late 2005. 
But look, it runs on netbooks now!

Which Eee are you running that on Biggles? Want to get something up and running on my Eee 901!
That would be the one-cheers for the config Boom

I prefer it to KDE4, KDE4 worked, ish, but was just hard to use.
As for the wallpaper, I like it, so there!
I meant no disrespect or anything similar. I was merely making comment that Windows 7's new UI looks quite similar to a mostly default KDE 3.5 setup, which has been around for a few years now.I prefer it to KDE4, KDE4 worked, ish, but was just hard to use.

Yea, I've heard that comparison a lot lately.
I think it's the Tall taskbar, where the start icon is the same size as the quick-launch, and completely contained in the taskbar. Also the button on the right, which serves a different purpose mind.
My Windows 7 is a little different to the default tho. I've made the taskbar shorter, and changed it so the quick-launch icons morph into regular taskbar buttons, which is they way I wanted it to work when I 1st heard about it: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/2568/ofhkgsregreagtpl1.png (No transparency because it's in a VM). I'd be surprised if KDE could prove they didn't borrow heavily from Windows 95 in the beginning.

Oh, it did for sure. Everybody steals from everybody and makes little changes here and there. Except Xerox. Maybe.

Apologies for not replying sooner manic.
It's an EEE 901.
Base install of debian 5 (NOT eeedebian) so I could use LVM to lump the 2 SSDs together.
Then a simple apt-get install kde-base.
Need any help, just ask, I know how to get the hardware to work.

Had to format:
That looks great - any chance of links to the Theme and Desktop? Also - any chance of a link to how to put the info on your desktop?
And... to be even cheekier.. any chance of the config file for the stats as you've got laid out now?
Cheers!
EDIT: Did some reading (i.e. scrolled up
) and see that it's Conky. But erm, can I still nick your config?... and your desktop and theme

Here's my new minimalist archlinux + openbox desktop
click for full size
The setup is openbox + xfce + thunar + pypanel + parcellite
I did have loads of conky's and urxvt on the desktop but found they wern't really serving a purpose.
Have you got a link to that wallpaper please?
