Yes! Excellent. I'm glad you liked it.
I'm also looking forward to the spring. With this cold weather, my feet get cold during the evening.

ok , nothing to post at the moment ... so heres my screen of ubuntu ... with xfce4.4 ...
http://web.singnet.com.sg/~alred/xfce4.jpg
my xfce is slightly faster than gnome and slightly slower than kde , at least on my machine ... but it is a lot better i my opinion ...
//btw , seems like i got color and text problems with this xfce ... probably my ubuntu is a bit messy as usual ...
|
Nice desktop. I notice, though, that you use a pretty small resolution.
Also, I'd be interested to know... what is the specification of your computer? |

Here is my latest with SimplyMEPIS. It has been the easiest distro to install, even has a driver for my CX4800 all-in-one printer.

congratulation , very nice ... that is the "graphical" style that i would like to see more often on peoples screen ... ^_^
btw ... this is my freebsd 6.2 ...
http://web.singnet.com.sg/~alred/freebsd_2007.png
notes :: although xcfce4.4 runs great in my bsd but i can only use it without the xfce4-menu-plugin , the rest of the everything are ok and run exactly the same ... that plugin crash by itself(but doesnt crash xfce) everytime when i try to use it ... i donno why ... probably its time we done away with "arhaic" things altogether ... ^_^
//anyway ...
