New Site Section - LQ Screenshots
I'm proud to announce a new site section here at LQ, just in time for the new year. LQ Screenshots offers screenshots for all your favorite Linux distributions. The site is functionality complete, but the look isn't quite done so it can be considered beta. As always, we're looking for your feedback. I'd like to thank Chris for working with me to get this added to LQ and for doing a great job on the actual screenshots.
Cool. A couple of suggestions would be to have "<--" and "-->" arrows as well as the thumbnails and have a border of some sort around the active thumbnail. It would make navigation easier.
I found this to be an excellent initiative...
I've always wondered what the other distros look like,though actually I would not want to try each one of them.
Any link that gives the info as to what are the default apps that come with the distro will be great(I know we can actually go to the distro site and see that)
There is a massive list- cool. But why are some images displayed up the top?
I'm only guessing here but I think the reason is because these are the most popular distros
If I'm wrong sorry
Overall I have to say I like the addition altho I do agree with pljvaldez

One thing more: ya know the look'n'feel of the desktop doesn't depend on distrib%-), but rather on windowmanager. I have some shots that cannot be aliased to any particular distrib. Also some program-specific ones (The GIMP). Where do I post 'em? Consider adding categories (like KDE, GNOME, Fluxbox, The GIMP and so on...)
Btw, everyone is welcome to see my shots @t gnulancer.deviantart.com Also there is GNUzen club on the deviantart (probably gnuzen.deviantart.com), enjoy
I suppose it's to keep up the quality of the images, since they fill a fair amount of hard disk space.
Perhaps a moderation system like the HCL? In the future though- I think we should keep it "exclusive" at the moment to build quality while it's in beta.
The best is usually where the whole vast community works. Maybe it's better to setup some screenshot voting system and simply delete the worst images after acceptable period (not to offend)
