Typically, after much carping and complaining, I have embraced KDE4!

lol you traitor...what happened to the fluxbox days...you are the one that inspired me to use fluxbox. As soon as I get another wallpaper I will be posting a screenshot.

KDE4 and Fluxbox have a lot in common. They both give the user an opportunity to be extremely creative in setting up his/her desktop, and they both allow many of the customizations to be fully exportable to another install. On the other hand, KDE4 uses guis to set up the desktop, while fluxbox uses hand-edited text files. This means that setting up KDE just the way you like takes a lot more time... hours and hours so far, but the new "input action" gui allows you to save many of your customizations (keyboard short cuts, for example) and export them to future installs.

Here is my PIII laptop at home. I backed it off to KDE3 on Slackware 12.1 due to a system sound issue with Slack-current and KDE4

You can't see it here but I found a really nice KDM theme that has the look and feel of the excellent KDE4 KDM theme...

Special thanks to Psych for helping track down some themes :)

For a long time I've been as much a KDE user as a fluxbox user. Most of the time, I'm running KDE applications on fluxbox, especially Konqueror. In one applcation, Konqueror contains all the capabilities of KDE as a whole, including Desktop icons and application menus. This makes it a great way to flesh out any window manager, especially fluxbox.

It's a big load off of my mind to be able to report that with Konqueror 4.1.3, the only desktop application that I can get really passionate about is back stronger than ever. The filter bar has returned (for opensuse, for some reason it isn't in Kubuntu, but I'm sure that'll work itself out.) Plus you can now configure it to open right to the ~ folder.

There are other things about the actual desktop environment that make me think I might use it from time to time for a media desktop.

Ironically, I'm back to KDE3, because my cats got in a fight and accidentally destroyed my last P3. I'm down to a lousy 500 mhz Celeron. So I switched to Vector Linux SoHo 5.9.1, which hasn't even heard of KDE4, but is a great distro for old crappy machines. Here is my current fluxbox desktop.

I paid 20 bucks for the deluxe bundle, which comes with 60 days of installation/configuration support. This is a great opportunity for me to learn about setting up Slackware.

[nolimit974]

i guess that is acceptable then....I thought you were originally a slackware user?

[Calipso]

I thought you were originally a slackware user?

Nope...but Psych keeps trying to turn him into one :D

[blackbelt_jones]

Mostly, I've been into Debian, and Debian-based distros, because I love those huge apt-get repositories. When the Debian-Installer disk came out back when Sarge was still Testing, it rocked my world. I hated Ubuntu for a long time, but I got over that in a big way! I was also a SUSE user from about 10.0 to 10.2, maybe a year and a half.

Slackware is great for writing, and getting things done. My problem is that with Slackware, there's always been some essential application that I don't know how to set up, or the trail of dependancies just wears out my patience, and I just give up, so Slackware-Vector has always been OS number 2. I'd like to have a high end Kubuntu media box, and a low-end Vector box for working.

[nolimit974]

Well back to screenshots...How about posting more of those.

[nolimit974]

well how bout something with a christmas theme to it. http://tpspace.net63.net/?page_id=194 (http://tpspace.net63.net/?page_id=194)

[dr_te_z]

new work laptopWere you able/allowed to throw windows off or did you have to make it "dual-boot"?
And the green hills are to confuse your co-workers (ah: green hills, that's XP ;) )

[psych-major]

No, it is dualboot. But here at work I can do most of my work in Linux.

[nolimit974]

psych-major: I link to my blog screenshots page because it allows everyone to see all my screenshots instead of just one and they can also look around.

I just paid 40 bucks for a year of premium image hosting, as image shack's slow, relentless march down the toilet has been continuing apace. Let's see if I get what I paid for.

[trilarian]

Give me that $40 and I'll host your pictures on my server.... :cool:

I do like the transparent theme you have going. I've been doing transparent (and borderless) shells for as long as I can remember, but don't think I've actually used a theme that took care of everything for me like yours. I'll have to play around after the New Year.

Well,the quote is incomplete, so I'll tell you -- it's the 1984 screenshot. Very funny (and sadly, true)

Good one!
