hcgtv, what is that bottom dock-bar there? Is it a feature of Enlightenment?

thamarok, the bottom dock-bar is called the Shelf and is a feature of Enlightenment.

You can have many Shelfs and place them at different positions along the top, bottom, left and right sides of your desktop. One thing I like is that you can make your desktop look like OS X, if you so desire.

Very cool! I think I should try Enlightenment.. Do you know how slow Gnome/KDE apps startup there? Thanks!

I run GTK apps from it and they run just as fast as if I was in Gnome. For some reason, the fonts in Firefox look better, haven't quite put my finger on it.

Have you tried any KDE applications? And which is better to use: E16 or E17?
And did you install Enlightenment by just apt-get install enlightenment?

It seems like Etch and Sid has only E16... How can I get E17 the 'easy way'?
And sorry for being a nuisance, but I need this information :P

Thanks!

edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line:

deb http://edevelop.org/debian sid main

then :

aptitude update

aptitude install e17

I don't remember for sure where I got those particular images. I tend to grab images when I stumble upon some good ones, but this site has a great fantazy section: http://www.free-wallpapers.tv/

I usually change the desktop background roughly once month or two. I usually log into fluxbox, rarely ever gnome. So here's my current screenshot, this month I decided on the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme :

Incidentally for those of you not aware of the above image, it's from the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. The image showed Discovery astronaut Bowman unplugging the circuitry from the heart of HAL 9000 computer, one of the most villainous characters in film history.

HAL 9000: "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over."

Last week (now using the astronaut Bowman background in my gdm login screen) :
