    Here's my desktop in Ubuntu Linux.

    I'm quite pleased with all the tweaking I did.

    That's the great thing about Linux, being able to make it look like anything you want. And the Compiz cube too...:)

    Nice. You go for the sparse look. I get that.

    Have you played Rainslick Precipice?

    It's very amusing.

    I'm at work at the moment, so it's just a boring blue Lufthansa one with lots of folders. I shall post my own one later on.

    Can I ask what that one is that you have solar? pretty handy having all those meters on the desktop like that

    I tried the penny arcade demo on xbox live once, really wasnt my thing tbh.

    Sparse... hehe yeah. I really like a clean desktop, makes for a change from my actual one thats covered in screwdrivers, loose change and computer parts :P

    the meters n' such are widgets running on the Yahoo widget engine. Theres alot of cool stuff on there... far better than either of mac osx or windows vistas "gadgets".
