How about a Linux gallery?

Keeping it plain and simple at work. E-mail on one desktop pair (two apps, different mail platforms for now), console and browser open on the first desktop pair, along with pidgin and a windows app I need running under wine, all with a little bit of compiz polish and awn.

Yes, I have two different sized monitors on my desk here.

I was a bit bored of the default theme in ubuntu 10.04 so I changed it to be more clean and simple by using a grey color on the built in clearlooks theme and adding a picture as the background to the top panel. Very easy to do.

On the netbook at the moment. Was dual boot but the XP install failed... oh well.

Toying with trying the full Ubuntu. It'll run as well as NBR right? Or is NBR optimised?

I like that blue and grey theme, do you know the name?

The new beta Cairo-dock 2.2.0 is sweet :cool:

Ubuntu 10.04 on an Advent 4211, everything auto-detected perfectly and runs so well and with Chrome is fast as anything - v v v happy with it.

Was very impressed with how user-friendly 10.04 is, I installed it as a dual-boot to have a play around with and I'm a total convert to the extent I'm toying with reformatting and using it as my main OS, my only issue is that we watch things on Netflix streaming which uses Silverlight so Win/Mac only

OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Icon theme: Azenis (gnome-look.org)
Window controls & borders: Dust

Pretty bland and boring (even a bundled wallpaper) but this is only a VM, primarily for serving SABNZBD+ to the internets. Need moar Linux. I keep debating wiping Windows 7 from my main machine, but I just can't get around to doing it.

Avast is to check Windows, if it ever gets to infected to boot or really work.

It's 'WildMint'. Nice but there's a few problems with it, namely it changes things that should be white to black. Makes some things in a browser hard to read and OpenOffice pretty impossible to use, i'm sure there's a way of fixing it but i'm happy just to switch between them as and when i want to.

Yeah the problem is the DRM though, it just won't work unfortunately

The Netflix devs even freely admit that they'd like nothing more than to 'fix' it but it's a political/rights decision not a technical one.

Might have to see how it works but I think asking my poor lil netbook to stream movies through XP
running in a VirtualBox might be asking too much..

Mono/Moonlight doesnt allow me to watch Sky Player on Fedora either

I've had to resort to installing a Windows XP VM in VirtualBox to watch Sky player.
