With linux, a lot of things are done with a terminal (think DOS box). It's possible to assign a background to the terminal

Here's mine:

Yeah, Linux is cool and all, but if I'm doing some sweet terminal action, I don't need half naked women in the background, thanks.

That being said, I keep a few apps fullscreen almost all the time, so I hardly see my wallpaper.

I personnaly have pics of babes in bikinis as my desktop and screen saver. I got them from www.wickedweasel.com and www.the-bikini.com - they are awesome

I think this changed from the "show your wall paper" thread to the "find the hottest girl you can, put a pic of her on your wall paper and show it" thread.

That's not always the case. Like, after I get bored with my current wallpapers I have some Skyline GT-R action lined up.

I can do that in OS X but i never really use the terminal because i don't know how. I just liked trying to make it pretty. I would usually turn on transparency and anti aliasing. But as i said, i cant use it so i stopped messing with it. I was trying to learn but i never really found a great resource geared towards newbs.

The picture is one my wife took of me when we went to the butterfly house. Funny thing is I remember sitting there thinking as I stared at that butterfly. I must have sat there for 20 minutes. One of the groundspeople came up and asked if I was OK. I asked her what type of butterfly it was, and she said it was an ITHOMIINE butterfly (ftfw!)

Ithomiine is my daughters middle name. The butterfly we named her after just happened to land and chill on my hand that day.

I'm running Ubuntu Dapper (upgrade from Breezy) and was quite impressed with what it came with...damn sight more than XP...

How to play a DVD in Linux? Don't be silly. Use your telly.

I think all linux distros have driver problems... but touch wood I seem to be OK this time, apart from my printer. And my DigiCam. Oh, and my scanner. :p

And I'm getting the hump with programs crashing with no discerable pattern, although XP did use to do it too... maybe it's hardware related...

But Linux is working w00t w00t my first (legal) free O/S!

Digicam ought to be ok. It should just show up as removable media, like a flash disk. Failing that, there is an app, gphoto which connects to various different cameras. Or, just use a card reader. Cheap as chips these days.
Printer, what is it?
Scanner, you might need to use a file from the windows driver. I can't remember exactly, but it's somewhere in the xsane manuals. Or the ubuntu forums, natch.
