Post pictures of your desktop here.  This is different from a typical screenshot thread because you must be using linux/X to post.  (in other words no windows or mac os screenshots)

Here's my cool GNOME desktop:

Ok guys, here we go with the pics.

The first is my 200 mhz box with KDE 3 at 1024 X 768.

Next is my 400 mhz laptop, which Ive shown on this site a hundred times before. Its KDE 3 as well at 1024 X 768.

Finally is my 433 mhz webserver and yes it runs Gnome 2.0 at 800 X 600.

Oh and might I add that I dont fuck with my uptime, or cheat it in any way, that is actual uptime. All three computers run Mandrake linux 9.0.

One is monitoring the desktop that I am Xterminal servered in to and the other is monitoring the machine the voidmain site is running on. The monitor is called GKrellM:

$ apt-get install gkrellm-themes
$ apt-get install gkrellm-plugins-utils
$ apt-get install gkrellm-misc
$ apt-get install gkrellm-media

If you want to monitor a remote server, on the server do:

$ apt-get install gkrellm-server

Then on the client do a "gkrellm -s servername". On the server the gkrellmd daemon needs to be running. I created a gkrellmd service for this. If you want the service script I will stick it in my files section.

nope, linux only in here, you'll have to use the huge screenshots thread for FreeBSD.
Either that or just lie and say your screenshot is linux, nobody'll know...
