Title: quest for the ultimate linux desktop (IMAGES)

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 (http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=000854) thread for FreeBSD.
Either that or just lie and say your screenshot is linux, nobody'll know...
