Thanx mate.

@giga:zabardast Desktop!

@ravan:saw the same in some other threads too

wait for my gentoo gnu/linux screenshot to hit this thread soon

^ ^Just posted yesterday in GNU/Linux screenshot thread

And btw, whats the config you gonna try gentoo on?

P.S: Dude, I aint no demon, its raven not ravan.

@giga:zabardast Desktop!

Thanks!

The wallpaper on the right screenshot is called "Dawn of Ubuntu". It looks awesome in both xp's zune theme and ubuntu's human theme.

sorry raven!(donno I always in my mind spell ray ravan

)
I had already used twice gentoo back in 2004 and 2006.
but as of now installing gentoo is damn easy!with gui and CLI installers!

I am trying gentoo on p4 2.8Ghz HT prescoot,384MB DDR-I,7300GT 256MB dedicated,915GV mobo .
u can get latest snapshots from *funtoo.org

^Lemme know how long it goes,
I've got a P4 2.4 with 256megs on a Intel 845.
Still thinkin of installin or not.

^such older desktops really need Gentoo yaar!try it!I just booted the livecd and it seems very easy when compared to what it was 5 yrs back

( my 2 cents-dont use anaconda based installer-it is buggy

,u can install gentoo via chroot from other distros too,but a lil bit tough for someone.no problemo if u have the gentoo guides)

^Actually ,Zenwalk is really fast on that setup.
You might not believe me , but it boots in less than 25 seconds,
to desk from lilo.
I wanna try gentoo to learn , not for the speed.

@Giga: First one is awesome.

Except for icons, font and wallpaper, everything else is modded by me. Running on Fluxbox, slit contains wm applets,.. htop, irssi and a terminal run on the desktop background along with gkrellm. General programs are run using the menu else I use terminal for everything else, pretty slick.
