See what I mean

I realize you can't actually see what I mean, here because you are not behind the monitor, but this is the first Linux box where the vibrancy of the colors really stand out, where the whites don't hurt my eyes, and where using Linux doesn't seem like a pain.

The only real cool thing about this screen shot is the wallpaper, I'm sorry. Other wise this is just your standard gnome install, like on any other system.

This isn't the first time I have used X.org versus X11 but this is the first time where everything has been dialed out of the box. Its really hard to explain the wonders of everything working properly, because for many windows users this is just expected and you don't think about it. I cant say that I am an old hand at Linux, as I have only been using it for 2 or 3 years, but the strides that have been made since I started is quite amazing.

Debian and Gnome have come along way since the days I was running it on my iBook, and I have to say that this is probably one of the nicest setups I have run in a while. I know I say that a lot, but this is really a breath of fresh air compared to the BSD desktop I had set up earlier. Again I don't want to offend anyone and I have a whole series of posts about whats good for me and what isn't regarding desktops.

Really not much more to say I just wanted to throw up a screen shot and rant about how sweet my little box is.
