@mike: Hi :) You could always download CrunchBang Linux, the wallpaper is included. Failing that, I have created a new wiki page where you can grab the image, see: CrunchBang Linux default wallpaper :D

Haha, thanks mate! … well im new to linux so i guess ubuntu is good enough for me, at this moment.
What about the "System Info" in the right corner … is that application included in CrunchBang aswell? ;)

@mike: No problem, and yes, Ubuntu is a great OS :)
Regarding the "System Info" in the right corner, it is a program called Conky, and yes, it is included by default in CrunchBang Linux :) Having said that, it is quite easy to install on Ubuntu, just enter the following terminal command:
sudo apt-get install conkyOnce it is intalled, it can be run by entering the command:
conky &There is a fairly good Conky howto on the Ubuntu Forums, see:

Hi, I now have conky installed on etch thanks to you. Could you please tell me more about the webcam? That is a very clean image. I never imagined linux could do that!

@Nahshon: The webcam is built-in to my laptop, I think it is an Orbicam.

Webcam support in Linux is actually quite good. The application in the screenshot is Cheese.

do you know of any support for webcam within an IM? pidgin has it greyed out, and though kopete can use my webcam in the settings for some reason the share webcam button never shows up for me, i have googled this and others have had the same problem

How do you use Cheese with Pidgin? i cant find anywhere about how to do it. I have cheese installed on my system, its working.

@Adam, I am not sure, but I think you may have misinterpreted the screenshot. For clarity, the two applications are not connected at all, it is just coincidence that I happened to choose these two applications to take a screenshot of.
