It is the Champion Spark plug Logo since I only use Champion Spark plugs on my antique Harleys. It is a fbpanel/transparent fbtaskbar running Openbox with rox desktop icons
with minimal pwidgets conky. Installed and set up yesterday.
More conservative AntiX Icewm (will change the Linux start button.xpm Later.
LMDE (with Debian Sid and LM Romeo repos added) combined with desktop background image that I took with my Android phone:
If you're wondering what it's of, that plant is something I grew from a stray pineapple crown found at a Stater Bros. wall of pineapples (And yes, I live in California, so it *is* outdoors).

LMDE is based on Debian, but the packages in Romeo are for the Ubuntu-based Versions. Debian and Ubuntu are not compatible, and mixing Debian and Ubuntu can mess up you system. If you want newer packages than actually are in testing, change your sources.list to use sid or unstable-repositories of the Debian part. May be you also want to add the experimental repos.

I not only have the LMDE Romeo added but also have Debian Sid (a.k.a. Unstable) added as well.
Having Testing and Sid enabled is somewhat useless, as long you are not using pinning. This is normally done to only pull a few packages from Sid and otherwise run a testing system. If you don't use pinning you can safely remove the testing part from your sources.list, your system should already be Sid (if you have made a dist-upgrade, which is the recommended way on Testing and Sid).

Yeah, I found out that Experimental is what I really needed.
