Hi there guys,

Its really nice to be here. A very good friend of mine (bored2k) referred me here

Currently using only Windows XP Pro coz of work appz but I've used Xandros in the past and the experience was AWESOME

Now I have plenty of time in my hand and am thinking of installing Linux again, prolly Ubuntu

I'll post here if I run into any trouble, and I hope that you guys will help me out

Thanx in advance for everything. See ya around guys

Edit: By the way, here's my first linux destop

What do you guys think

Nothing against your desktop but I don't understand why anyone dresses up their desktop. Seriously, when I am sitting at my computer I am working in an app and can't see the desktop. Why would I care what it looks like? Now, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be rude or nasty. I am just curious, maybe there is something I am missing. Well?

You are missing out. You see your desktop everytime you log in. Its nice to see something that is appealing to you.

Plus if you use gdesklets then you have to look at you desktop a lot. Also virtual desktop use will show you your desktop. Finally some (like me) use the desktop as a temp space so then you are looking at it to get files. All of these reasons are why wallpaper rules.

Rock on.

I am so sorry. Its been a very very very long time I played around with Xandros and really don't remember the name of that icon set. I don't have Xandros with me anymore. Formated the partition to gain space

I'll ask my good friend bored2k and see if he remembers it

and will surely let you know. He helped me a lot (more than 95%) guiding me how to install stuff coz I was a linux noob and didn't know a thing
