Hi - in case this missed you guys, I read about it on lifehacker.

Has anyone done it?

Worth it or not really?

Link is here (http://www.simplehelp.net/2010/05/31/how-to-set-a-rotating-picture-of-the-earth-as-your-wallpaper-in-ubuntu/)

Thanks ;)

UPDATE: I think you need a resolution of 1600px wide....I am 1280 X 800 which I think is an issue....if anyone has done this with my resolution can you please tell me the work-around? Thanks

Hey, check out is there a way to display video as wallpaper on desktop? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8918858&postcount=6) for another method; caveat: you need a good graphics card, puny Intel integrated will not do the job.
