and people complain vista is a waste of system resorces

[Tsubashi]

Pshaw, Vista wastes resources by default, this is just for fun!
But yes, it is a huge waste of resources, it's only use is to show off (which is why it's so easy to turn off )

Fufufu.... is that a native plugin or an addon?  I'd like to try that on my friend's Macs if possible... he likes the Beryl ripple effects and would get a real kick out of seeing it in OSX.  ^.^

It's actually a combination of things. It was originally intended to be a screensaver but with the help of Backlight 2.0 from freshlysqueezedsoftware.com it becomes a very cool desktop background (with a few source code modification to improve performance on Sazaki-chan). Unfortunately, I I can't seem to find Backlight 2.0 anywhere on the web anymore! So I've
put a zipped package up on my server if you'd like to try it out. I can't remember if it needs configuration, but I think it ought to work

Okay, checked on one of my older Macs and it seems to work just fine. But I sorta packaged that tarball funny so I'm going to fix it ^^'
File will be back in a minute!

Added after 21 minutes:

Just tested it on a clean OS X install, and it worked fine, so I'm confident it should work. File is back up too.

Though a word of caution, the can be quite processor intensive, so if you intend to actually use the computer, I recommend toning down the frequency and detail levels of the screensaver and then setting Backlight's processor priority to twenty (20) (available in Backlight's options). Then it runs decently on a higher end system (most any Intel Mac)
Have Fun!

Fufufu... well that's all well and good, but we're not talking my Macs here.... ^__^;

Sure there ain't a risk of me blowing them up for him?  ^v^;

XP Pro-tan posing with K8's psychotic bootup selector, which thinks this is her namesake system XD

Note I'm now going for a "less is more" look on XP...using the classic theme she runs much faster

[C-Chan]

*relatches onto Bella-san for safe measure*

Yeah, not sure what's in the Fisher Price theme, but XP runs helluvalot faster with the older (and some would say more functional) 2K/98 look.  ^.^

BTW, great news!  ^v^

Puppy Linux 3.0 is out and it's FANTASTIC!!!  ^V^

Not only is it the first offical GPL'd release of Puppy (I didn't realize it before, but the versions we used were only LGPL and before that... *SHOCK*... semi-proprietary... @o@), but it's also introduced some Slackware code.  And from what I've read, it's also compatitble with Slackware packages/applications!  ^v^

This opens up a whole and brave new world of app availability for Puppy-chan, although since this happened very recently (last week), it'll take some time before you really start to see this work wonders.  ^__^

My Desktop. Just XP Silver theme with a cute background.
Nothing too flashy, really.

Bella, let that your XP Home dream with the idea that is a XP Pro!!

This are my OS Desktops.

For those who are interested in my new Kubuntu desktop... brutal, no?

Ubuntu running Fluxbox as DE, I guess this is my own version of Fluxbuntu, right?

I have AmaroK open to demonstrate what the theme looks like, in a rare show of humor I'm playing "We're a Happy Family" by The Ramones (referencing the line "What is minimalism?" answer: Fluxbox!).  FYI, please click on the pictures for the full versions, these are homemade thumbnails... yeah, my image host is no doubt going to let me have it this time...

[C-Chan]

Wow........ you like............. really love stubby panels, don't ya.  ^__^
Very psychadelic in a cool kinda way.  And look! you got your My Computer icons in there like you wanted!  ^v^

And I still think FluxBox freaks me a bit, but I'll take what you say to heart and try it out slowly and thorougly (via DSL probably) when I get my Asus 3ePC.  ^^
(although it really does a number on the Amarok theme.... ^.^;)

Played with Mandriva 2008 a little more while I was in the middle of the Leopard demo surrounded by OSX users.  Very sweet, cause no one knew what the heck i was using (although they did know about the *Buntus), yet they still loved that sweet sweet Compiz Fusion.  ^___^

I was just happy got 3D and overall graphics settings working properly instantly, and even though I don't use wireless, I managed to connect for the first time ever (on ANY system) into the Apple wifi without so much as batting an eyebrow.  ^__^
(well actually, I still had to go to the connection menu and pick a network, but I was honestly expecting something much more complicated)

Wanted to post here, but didn't last long,... too many users I suppose, since network congestion disconnected me and most of the Macsters.  ^___^'

Very very impressed,.... although this just means I'll eagerly await PCLinuxOS 2008, I may stick it into an auxiliary partition to get used to it.

In any event, couldn't take a screenshot so I'll post one of the pictures from a review.

Also attaching a screenshot of Leopard, because that was also pretty sweet tonight (Time Machine graphics are gorgeous).  ^_______^

Nicoruizmza. Could you please remove your third desktop as I find it offending, not to mention the fact that it's not safe for work...

[VonDaab]

I got the most interesting desktop. Ever.

Yeah, it's pretty plain but I like it clean.
