Of course, Linux offers desktops of staggering complexity, but I prefer the spartan and the minimalistic. Here we see only three virtual terminals, and using these I can be much more productive than any GUI jockey in the world. Actually, this image represents only 1/4 of the total desktop real estate. Using X Window one can define areas up to 16x what is seen here, but I do not require such vastness. Try that with Micro$oft Windoze! |

Here's my desktop Sorry that there's no aircraft, I like it clean and 'relatively' uncluttered. And yes, I still run WinXP Pro, I have tried the other (later) MS 'Operating Systems' (and I use that term loosely) and hated them. My next OS will probably be Linux but the GUI will be optional. Hi Jeff, when you want to switch to Linux you should take a look at Mandriva Linux (theres a Live-CD named Mandriva Linux One, has also a Installer to make a bootable USB-Memory Stick). The "draktools" (Menubased Configuration for Graphic-Card, Sound, Printer, Fax, Firewall, FTP-Server etc) are really comfortable and easy to understand. The Hardware-Recognition is slightly better than the HW-Recognition of Ubuntu. Downside is that the Packages (Programms, Libs etc) arent always the newest, but therefore really stable and reliable. As News-Reader for Mass-Download Binary Newsgroups i highly recommend "Pan" which handles Multipart-Binaries and yenc Files, and for writing to Newsgroups Thunderbird mainly because i dont like the writing Editor in Pan The GUI (KDE4, Gnome etc) should suit your Hardware, on an old AMD Athlon 2Ghz i wouldnt recommend KDE4 or Gnome but LXDE or if you want a lightweight but highly stylish Desktop "Enlightment" (E17). Regards Jens |

For those playing at home, it's a bad one for Australia, we're getting our arses handed to us. What is this? Looks like som Hogwarts Game-Sheme Those are all the usual cricket field placings (for a right-handed batsman) Wow, thanks! |

(in article ): Another Mac user and double bonus RNAS? Not just any RNAS - it's Rutland of Jutland returning to Engadine, reportedly at the conclusion of his famous mission (that's the 1916 one, not the 'secret agent for Japan' one. Which reminds me, I've got a set of RNAS scans somewhere. I'll see if I can find them. |
