    … a nice wallpaper you got there … any idea where i can get it aswell ?

    @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 conky
    

    Once 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.

    That is a very clean image. I never imagined linux could do that!

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