Actually that's the wrong font. Though it does look similar, the font I use is Avquest and you can d/l it here

It's from Fallout 2 (the game).

Here is one from one of the oldest machine I have:

http://www.geocities.com/kooltux/snapshots/deli/kde11_desktop.gif

The machine is a Compaq Armada 7350MT with Intel 166 MHZ processor, 32MB of RAM, inbuilt sound card, 28k modem, 2GB HD and it's running Deli Linux 0.5 and KDE 1.x. The background I did myself

Wow, thanks a bunch mate!. Nobody have never said anything like that to anything I've ever done, so you really made me happy for your comments Thanks again!.

The background was made using Terragen. It's deadly easy to use. I used Terragen long ago to create backdrops to my DirectX games and use the images in a skybox. I'm pretty sure that anyone with a few minutes playing around with Terragen will get much better results. Anyway, the background is here if anyone wants to use:

http://www.geocities.com/kooltux/wallpapers/night.png

Note: File is about 900k and 1024x768px (The background in my laptop is lower resolution though). Sorry for it to be on geocities. It's buggy, and you may need to paste the above address in a new window. I hope that soon I can have a 24/7 server running home .

The colors and brightness had a little side-job on Photoshop 6. Unfortunately, Terragen won't run on Linux . But if anyone can get it to run, please let me know. It's worthy to dual boot just to make custom wallpapers with Terragen (This blueish wallpaper I did looks tasty with Fluxbox and a transparent aterm with "cyan" font colors ).

Have a nice day

Here's my current setup(Note: this is a full sized 1280x1024 screenshot)
http://badcomputer.no-ip.com/images/screenie.png

It's what I call fluxkde (or kdebox if you prefer). I run kde, but I like the right-button applications menu in fluxbox, plus the tiny panel on the bottom, so I made kde look and act like flux. I hate icons on the desktop so I killed them.

The first konsole is just dmesg, the second is a ssh session on my server, where I am rsync'ing my webfiles, and the third is one of the many python projects I have on the go. Then of course we have xmms, and gkrellm.

It was "eye" not an L. He wasn't saying DELL as in the computer company but DELI as in a delicatessen.
