"You aren't using your OS properly..."

I have two of them in my desktop. One is Lighscribe enabled. I also have two hard disks and an extra fan to keep things airy.

Is it part of the unit or separate?

It's a part of the unit, on the right hand side.

No, that is xmonad with vim, bzr, and mc. Xmonad, a modern tiling window manager written in Haskell. Vim, the best text editor. mc, a file manager that kicks all the "GUI" ones in the rear. bzr, the Canonical created version control system, used from the command line like, instead of a GUI like the Mac boy.

Well, I usually use bzr at the command line except for merge ancestry graphing which is more informative when viewed in a GUI.

Neat. That is a very usable design those iMac's. If it weren't for their price, I bet they could be the most common home computer (or if a similiar design using another OS)

I wonder how usable DarwinBSD is without the Mac part.

Due to a lack of interest and Hackintosh jerks abusing the Darwin distribution to make home-brew pirated OS X breeds, Apple no longer releases a distribution of Darwin and there seems to be little demand to making a Darwin OS.

I think it comes down to the fact that on non-Apple hardware, there's not much point to using Darwin over using another BSD-like OS. A lot of what defines Darwin is its tight integration and flawless support of the Apple hardware. Other than that, it's a slow-context-switching UNIX with poor hardware support.

I'd probably separate a few of those windows out to multiple desktops to save space. Although, if you're used to the scale plugin in Compiz Fusion (Exposé in Mac) it might not be necessary. I never could get quite used to it.

Anyway, Windows users always seem to only like 1-2 windows open at a time. It drives me nuts when I see them close stuff they're just going to need later to "save memory".

Rest assured, the other desktops are actually in-use by various more important tasks at hand (i.e. homework, calendar, forums/launchpad browser windows, etc)

I do use per-app and per-desktop expose extensively; it's an absolute must-have feature for me!

I didn't know there was a right way to use a OS

I for one use my computers very specifically and tend to not follow the lines of default look/layout

I have my windows list at the top, my launchers at the bottom (almost like a dock, but its just a panel with launchers), and its not fully extended so i can easily switch my desktops with compiz

I have the same layout with gnome and openbox for the same reason, switching desktops easily

I noticed that you also call the directory with all your projects "code". Great minds think alike!

Thank you. Been meaning to think of a good name instead of 'projects', but never bothered.
