I have posted two pictures of my current Linux system in my Desktop Image gallery. Generally these pictures are for reference (say forum posts on ArsTechnica ) but I also enjoy the nostalgia value of them. Some of those desktops are five years old.
Both images are my current SuSE 9.2 desktop running on my Dell Latitude D800 laptop. The first of the new pics is shown with three of my more commonly used applications showing. The applications running are:
- amaroK — Possibly the best audio application available for any OS. Notice the album covers and album information sidebar. amaroK has a quick tool for downloading the covers and music meta information.
- Kontact — A Personal information Management Suite (i.e. Outlook XP for Windows) for KDE. Notice the contact pictures used for address book icons.
- digiKam — A photo album and digital camera management application. Think iPhoto for Linux.
The second new desktop picture is the same desktop without any applications showing.
