    I put downloaded stuff and pictures I recently took right on the desktop. Too lazy to organize my pc, besides it's not like anyone sees it.

    It's a pity mandrake (now mandriva) not being as stable as other linux distros, though is quite fast.

    yeah, i'm going to switch soon, i think. Like Suse or something like that.

    By the way (Semi-off-topic, i know (well, all my post is off-topic anyway! :D)) Do you know how to install Windows decorations and Icon sets from RPMs to make them apear in the configure your desktop section? i can install them with the RPM, but they're not automaticly showing in the configuration section. I think i have to go and search it all over my hd, and place it in a folder, but i don't know where it is, nor it's destination. I would repost pictures of my desktop after the change.

    My favorite Linux distros are Ubuntu and Gentoo.....so therefore if anyone uses Linux I think there worth checking out...

    I was SO close to switching to suse permanently before I learned that my Linksys card wouldn't work. I will have to do something complicated like using wine to run the app :(

    EDITED

    here's my new desktop:

    [​IMG]

    and.....tadam!



    [​IMG]
    Smooth scrolling and all. The only problem with the dock right now is that it apears on top of everything. :( trying to solve the problem.
    i'd like to put other things on my desktop, like a built-in console, internet bandwith, cpu memory and hdd sensors and all, but i fear my system will loose lots of resource with all this, so i'm testing right now,

    i'm also trying to change the clock color to white too.

    edit:

    changed the second picture with new icons and layout. From left to right: KDE , Console, Konqueror, FireFox, aMSN, Limewire, Noatun, Kafeine, Kcalc, XKill, and the two last icons are for management.


    EDIT:

    here's my new toy :p
    [​IMG]


    This is called Kuake.
    It's A program that make the console apear like the Quake Console on KDE when you hit the good button asigned for this purpose, pretty cool. :)

    now i just need to know how to use that damn autostartup folder, to make everything you can see on my desktop automaticly apear when i start my computer.

    I'm using dual displays, so this is a big one, Clickable though, so imageshack'll scale it down when you click it.

    It's a vista skin plus a "customized" icon set.
