it looks good mikkey, although I still hate the way WinXP works. You havew alot of the same software that I do. I'm not using POwerDVD anymore though, because A, my DVD-ROM drive isn't working at all when it comes to DVD's, but it plays CD's and CD-Roms, so I have to get that fixed, and B, I have a Hardware MPEG-2 Decoder card, so I can watch my movies on my TV. I also use "Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum", which is alot better than Easy CD Creator 4 Deluxe, which somebody once said "isn't easy, and there wasn't alot of creating", which I found to be true. I'm using WinMX also, as well as ZoneAlarm Pro, PestPatrol also is on my system, and I just bought WinZip, because I've used both WinRAR and WinZip, and preferred WinZip, although now I might start to look at "Getright", which is supposedly better. I also have RealOne, and WinAmp2 on my PC, as soon as a final version of WinAmp3 is out, I'll be DLing that, and deleting Winamp2, IT also looks like It'l be fun To "Skin" WinAmp3, which I'll have some fun doing.

I imagine most of you will find this one somewhat different to usual...

Cobblers, I didn't mean The GIMP to still be in the shot like that. But hey, you get the picture - I'm using Linux! Woohoo! Rather less microsft for me from now on I feel.

I installed it yesterday (about 24 hours ago in fact), which was a whole lot easier than I'd planned. Childs play in fact... the hardest thing to do was to hit delete quickly enough so I could enter BIOS and boot from CD rather than floppy.

It's a joy to know that I am now using wholly free software that I can do anything with and give to anyone I like. Mmmm....

Thumbs up

Great Desktop's Everyone, keep 'em coming in.

Pika, I LOVE the Linux Desktop, now I'm considering a Linux system myself in a few years, I'm trying to be Microsoft-free after this PC, since they've killed DOS, added product activation, and decided to enter the Console Business with there Bug-filled software I have lost what little respect I had for them.

As for WinMX, it's another FileShaere, I generally ind that if something I want isn't on Morpheus it's on WinMX, and if it's on WinMX it isn't on Morpheus, both are Spyware free, and even though some things are on both servers, I find a wider variety of obscure soundtrack songs on WinMX than Morpheus, and more modern Music on Morpheus than WinMX. I've gotten some good movies off of WinMX, and I've yet to compare picture files, since you usually find porn floating around in picture areas, and I'm not in the mood to load up my HD with Porn, if I wanted to do that, I'd buy a playboy magazine. Morpheus has some Game Demos on it, but most can be found on WinMX by looking in the "Video" or "pictures" section.

As far as the "new" morpheus, I've only used it a few times, but it's still good. The final version should be out soon. WinMX runs on the gopod ol' WPNP, and will soon have anew Version of its own, so I'll be checking on that. Depending on what you want I'd check out either morpheus or WinMX, WinMX is a litle different, but it's still a great file-sharer, and since Napster bit the dust I think It's just as good as Morpheus.

And here's my latest desktop, its a picture of two of my two oldest nephews, I took it on a digicam it was for a media studies assignment but I made it into a desktop and added some captions.

True, but I find it to have more music that I want than any other filesharer, and I also find it faster to boot. Morpheus has gone **** since they changed it, Kazaa and all the rest use spyware and now Morpheus has been found to be "stealing" money by installing a browser plugin which means that the guys who make it get referral money whenever you go to a site giving money to referrers. I can't remember the details, butthere was a post about it on slashdot a coupla days ago.

So, it's winmx for me. Which runs great under Linux by the way.
