Just a plain screenshot of my FreeBSD box doing its usual thang. Stuff includes:
Blackbox 0.65.0 with taskbar patch (style "Spiff" (distributed with source))
Phoenix 0.5 (shaded, theme "MicroPhoenix 1.3")
rxvt (font "shine")
aterm with transparency and fading (font "smoothansi")
GKrellM 1.2.13 (theme "prime_23")
bbkeys 0.8.5 (iconified)
wallpaper "blue_forest.jpg" from shiftedreality.com
I keep forgetting to grab ImageMagick. xv for screenshots isn't very pleasant :(
I love Fluxbox/Blackbox...fastest windowmanager around :)
Gotta get Waimea functional one of these days and try it out.
:cheers:
Last month's desktop:
Dyyryath's Desktop (Outdated Link - Disabled)
Right now I'm experimenting some more with KDE 3.1 & Mandrake 9.1. We'll see how it turns out after I've had some time to play with it. ;)
you run your desktop as root? :scared: why?
Heh, it's convenient. :D
Yeah, I know the rule. "Only act as root when you have to. Making a mistake as root could have severe consequences."
On production machines & whatnot I generally work as dyyryath. On my development box, though, I'm always root. Believe it or not, if you think before you do things, it's really not that big of a deal. In the fifteen or so years I've been working in Unix, I've never made a really ugly mistake as root. (Of course, having said that, I'll now promptly have some kind of brain cloud and issue rm -rf * from the root directory. :D)
The only other drawback to being root is security. Generally if I'm doing something that could be a security risk (i.e. running an IRC client) I run it as a normal user.
What can I say? I guess I'm just a foolish rebel. :D :D
well... seeing as you have been using unix almost as long as I have been using computers, i'll let it slide :D
LOL :D
:D
Threads like this are insanely popular over at Ars (last I checked a screenshot thread was at 54 pages). I wonder why that isn't so over here?
I'm just gonna clean up one of my Windows boxen and throw a screenshot here in a bit.
I think people at Free-DC tend just run the dog snot out of their computers and tinker with them, OC them, etc vs posting screenies :) Less interested in eye candy.
Yeah, that would make sense. Its one of the main reasons I only posted a screenshot of my FreeBSD box, because my Windows box is so slimmed down that it is nothing to look at. Oh well, I'm eating up DF/OGR cycles posting this, so I should shut up and assume the crunching position ;)
I don't mind looking at the occasional screenshot. In fact, I usually find it fascinating. It's interesting to see how other people organize things. Eye candy is always fun, too. ;)
Today's desktop:
The bigger version can be found right here.
I want to see what IronBits desktop looks like...
:D Larger version here www.dbestern.com/files/ib_screenie.png
LOL, I guess we have different taste in women. She's a little too bright & shiny for me. :)
If I was going to have wallpaper with a woman on it, it'd probably be this one. :D
I like tough, crazy women. :thumbs:
Levis and a T-shirt, or nothing at all will do. :D
Sooo, you like em TOUGH you say?!
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/qtv/vide...tp_300_ref.mov
Not what I would call work safe unless you turn the volume down and make sure no one is looking over your shoulder. Now these are real tuff workin women ;)
:D
Don't get me wrong, I like em tough and crazy as well, but there's something about a woman in a Tennis skirt that gets me all fired up...

/me agrees with IB - that is the best .mov I've ever seen :smoking:
My current work desktop:
IB, that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! :rotfl:
Not sure how I missed this thread so long ago

I have a narcistic desktop... :smoking:

jesterkin, excatly what is Blender?
http://www.blender.org
3D-stuff :)
Well, our new friend is running Windows, but he's also got Firebird, Cygwin, & Blender so I guess we can let the Windows thing slide. :D
As they say, the customer is King. And if our customer wants stuff that works under Windows, we better test it, right?
My first choice OS would be a Linux-kernel powered one, though. As probably already has become clear in previous posts.
That's what I use vmware for. Of course, I do have a handful of Windows XP boxes upstairs for playing Battlefield 1942 on, so I guess I shouldn't really be giving you too hard of a time. ;)
Today's desktop:
Dyyranth.......is that a karamba app for DF?! :eek:
gDesklets, yes, which is pretty much Karama for Gnome. It was a 5 minute hack that I never got around to making any fancier. ;)
I'm jealous now :cool: I think I need to learn python so I can make something similar for Karamba
You'll like Python. It's a fantastic language. :thumbs:
Python rocks. And Blender too, because it uses Python as well :D
/me wants a desktop that looks as cool as Dyyryaths :help: :D
I must say that is one sweet looking desktop!
I guess I better switch back to my Gentoo install and make it my primary OS :smoking:
The first time I installed Linux was Slack on a 386, back when 386's were hot. I had a lot of fun playing with it until the day I went to delete a temporary directory.Quote:

You guessed it - I didn't do a pwd first, didn't realize I was at /, and did an rm -r. Everything worked great until I rebooted it.
It was educational. I haven't done it since. I highly recommend working as root only on a scrap box until you do something like this. You'll never do it again <g>.
Ok, here is mine...the file is huge! EDIT: IB fixed the file...now 110k instead of 1100k!
No one else would know where the artist got the inspiration for the drawing from. Other than it is a book they made me read in 8th grade.

MY EYES! The goggles, they do nothing!!!!!!!!!
Man, that's bright---Don't know if I could deal with that first thing in the morning :D It is pretty though; is it inspired by "Watership Down" ?
rshepard: I was wondering about the Watership Down thing myself.
I don't know how you guys keep your desktops so clean! I've got so much stuff on it atm. Every onece in a while, I need to clean things up.
Chinasaur: That's a very nice looking desktop. I love the colors. OS X is nice to look at, no doubt. In fact, I've been very impressed with it all the way around. I'm not willing to give up Linux/Gnome for it, but it's definately a classy OS. :thumbs:
