Lets try that again.


And from a Mac user?

As you well know, there are some of us out here in the wasteland.

And there are even some of us who are not afraid of the occasional sortie
over the Dark Side (though personally I like to keep one eye on my own side
of the lines).

Oh dear, you caught me with a non aviation desktop.
I vary my desktop usually 2 or 3 times a month mostly using my own photo's.

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

My current one. Cropped from NASA Earth Observatory, spread across two

I do love looking at the aviation pictures, but i'm not around them
much. Gotta love a freight train!
