    Been meaning to do this for a while. I'll post some shots of my other machines once I get them tweaked.

    Here's my next offering, my network monitor. used primarily for running tests on my network and ssh sessions into the servers so no need for anything fancy really!

    Your desktops all look very nice & custom, very chic!
    Here's a few of my own:

    KDE, the heavy-weight Linux desktop In various States:

    XFCE, a middle-weight desktop:

    WindowMaker, a minimalistic desktop which uses only 4mb of RAM:

    Keep in mind that when I shot all these, I was simultaneously logged into KDE with this thread open in my browser and music playing in the background without a hickup. Pretty cool for a free system, eh? :good:

    Eight workspaces AT? Also interesting to see you using WindowMaker, I could never figure that one out somehow.

    Yeah, 8 workspaces, and I use 'em all. :) I like WindowMaker for running on old hardware, like outdated laptops, and to provide an optional GUI for servers. I usually have my servers start up without a display manager, but have WM installed in case one would be useful. I've found they they do get used from time to time. For instance, sometimes it's nice to download a file with Mozilla rather than lynx. ;)

    What are your laptops specs and what did you run into the last time you tried to install Linux?

    I've never had any difficulty with it. Basically, with WM you don't have icons on your desktop, you don't have tons of fancy dialogs, etc. Those things eat a lot of RAM. What you do have is multiple desktops and simple iconification of minimized applications. When you want to open what would be the "Start Menu" in Windows, you simply right-click on the desktop... there it is. That's pretty much all there is to it, piece of cake. And it does only use about 4mb RAM, so it's ideal for situations where resources are tight.

    Thanks, but mine aren't as tweaked as TPCs. :) Yeah, I like WM, but usually use KDE because I have a fairly decent rig. Don't underestimate XFCE4, either -- that's a killer desktop.

    Well the title of the thread is show off your desktop, isn't it. I've also got an XP pro, a Mac OS X, and a 1280x2048 twin-headed Slackware desktop but I won't be showing those until they've been heavily tweaked and modded ;)
