It was so easy to make this so if you would like it in a different color or with a different font (doubt anyone will use it anyways) I can do it.

lol I like it - it's like those bumper stickers for your car "My other vehicle doesn't pollute the air" or similar..

NICE! I like the font!
I'll use it on the school computers, where I am forced to use windows <.<

I like it. I actually like the idea more than the background itself :) I would like it to be bigger and have a tux or something on it. Your drawings would be even better :D

that's a really good idea! I'll have to put it on my server so I can get to it.. but, shouldn't it be my other computer runs linux? or *nix

When I was using FreeBSD, I made a wallpaper just like this one, with the BSD Daemon saying "My other box runs FreeBSD".

I think the whole thing is one big family and I like to call it UNIX.

A good idea, just a thought:

Since you're referencing a bumper sticker in concept maybe consider bringing that idea to the design. Use a generic looking backround and create something that looks like a large rectangular sticker on screen. The idea is good, but the execution is too generic.

Disclaimer: I'm a graphic artist so I'm holding you to a different standard than you may have intended. Just ignore me if you were just having some fun.

Pbaehr I am happy about your suggestions because I want to become a graphical designer one day :) I might even try your idea.

try this one on for size :) I think this is closer to what was being talked about. i will do a betterone later with the default BG from both XP and OS X. this is just more of a concept peice.
