Hey everyone. Just wonderin' what you all use the other 3 desktops for.

Me personally, I just use 2. My main desktop and another desktop I slam all my one-click programs on :P

I use dual monitors. No need to switch desktops.

1. browser, xmms, quick terminal tasks
2. ssh terminal, ftp, compiling programs, etc.
3. graphics, gimp, html stuff
4. giFT, other browsers if i need them
alt+F term: kernel compiling, lynxing (to coin a new term), nethack

i love the multiple desktop, a major improvement over windows' single desktop design.

-> p.s., this isn't strictly a mandrake question, so heads up that a mod will probably move it.

As the other post says i also separate my dfesktops in Browsing, Music and Instant Messaging, Mail and Compiling programs.

There is a multi desktop system in windows, with Nvidia cards but its pretty poor. To use two monitors is cool, but if you use that i recommend tou conect the two monitors to one graphic card, best performance.
