Show me your desktop

Yea, it was mostly just to see how far I could push my system. I didn't run them all at the same time though to avoid conflicting results but I do find it best to use programs that have alternative methods of fixing issues to pick up the pieces others may leave behind.

That's an easy fix.

In XP, right-click on your desktop > Arrange Icons By > Show Desktop Icons.

Pretty much the same in Vista. Right-click > View > Show Desktop Icons.

Man that is sharp. I considered trying the stacks. Do you like it a lot or is it just ok? FlimFlam, you might want to ask CM  about hiding the default XP trash icon as it appears hidden or removed on this desktop.

I use Rocket dock too and I might add the stacks for Open office. That's the only program I use that has multiple options. I only use one browser. I'll probably go ahead and try it out. I can always remove it. Thanks.

OK anyone who wants that pic (my Firefox logo wallpaper above) I stuck it on my photobucket account HERE so snag it if you want.  It is a bad a$$ Firefox logo.  Its been my background on this laptop since day one - love it.

 

Thats so awesome Smartmom... Thanks! I've been looking for a new background forever.

What a awesome picture - Love it!

 

The main difference is that Mint has flash out of the box. I don't think Mandriva has that.  Other than that I don't know. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet. I will say, I installed cairo dock and it was a breeze. I was truly shocked by how easy it was. I had read about installing stuff in Linux. I downloaded the .deb file. Double clicked it and Linux took over and installed it all. Can't get much easier than that.

Yeah I had a hard time picking which flavor I went with. There are just so many. Eventually I picked Ubuntu, Mint, Mandriva and Dream. I burned all four to live discs and just booted from live disc and played with them. I settled on Mint because it had flash preinstalled and it's a  derivative of Ubuntu which has tons of online support. It's easy to find how to's online for Ubuntu and so far they have worked just fine for Mint. I tried out AWN's dock but this old computer can't handle it. It does just fine with Cairo Dock. I also added docklets, a clock and calender. Both work and I see no appreciable slow down in my system. Add in a Tomboy note To Do List and I'm all set. Once I settle on a desktop for a few days I'll repost an updated screen shot. I've been using my Mint computer all day. Haven't even touched my XP computer.  

Oh yeah, I was thinking the same thing for a Linux Badge.

That smokey background looks cool.  If only she wasn't actually smoking. Still looks good though.

I like that you changed all of your icons to birds. Matches the background really well.
