We have sections to show off just about everything, but I've noticed there is one area that wasn't touched. So I'll start this off, I always love seeing others desktop's, and how they have set them up.
I run kubuntu 7.04 (the newest build), I've always been a windows user, but as of lately, I was getting tired of it. Vista is nice, but the demands are a little step for my tastes. Linux has come along ways since I last touched it, and its very powerful. It offers everything you do on windows, but the software is open licensed and free. Just a download away.
The best part most of the programs are not bloated and are still feature rich. However windows does hold the gaming side of Os's. So if your a gamer you might want to dual boot Linux. That way you can still game on windows, and do the rest on Linux.
Also before you commit to Linux they have livecds, that you can run the operating system off, to get used to it, and see if it fits your needs. It installs nothing and is fully functional.
I only installed new icons, that better fit my idea of a desktop, and a firefox theme that uses your current desktop colors. Other then that I edited all the colors myself, and matched them to everything. All my programs run this color scheme so they all blend very nicely.

This is a good idea but some of the pics are a bit revealing..... It doesnt take a genius to work out what some of you get up to on your pc's. You never know who else is browsing the forums and the last thing you want is the wrong attention? Maybe i'm just paranoid on everyone else's behalf lol.

LoL I was going to point that out as well, but didn't want to bring the attention upon them. But yea I think a little paint jobs would have been in order LoL. Mine had a lot of contacts for members that I did not want getting revealed, so if you noticed all my messengers and what not were not showing names.

Uses a different gui. Thats about it lol. You can edit all that in the sections of the programs, and in settings no need to d/l anything.
