Having a play with screenlets.
Wow! I take it that that's the latest version of Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibon). Does that sidebar come with it?

Well, I'll admit I've had girls on my desktop before, but I do find it odd that it's all he has on there. Why not spend the time it takes to change your desktop girls finding a real girl. Asians aren't hard to find
Here's my new desktop. Took the picture a couple days ago in the Rocky Mountains.

Heey! got some nice games on there. And I'm surprised people other than me actually play the sims 2
I don't play it that often anymore. But occasionally.

Haha, I play it occasionally as well. My friend's girlfriend got me back into it
I've been playing Call of duty lately. Such a great game!
Hi,
It is Gutsy Gibbon, but the sidebar and everything in it are screenlets and do not come with Gutsy. You can use them with any distro as long as you have compositing running.
They're very versatile, the sidebar has a fair list of themes. The orange one is the Ubuntu specific one. You can drag the screenlets wherever you want and all can be resized. There are more than in my screenshot as well. gnome-look.org has some listed under Desklets.
They will work without compositing but then you get ugly black borders around everything.
If you run them alongside compiz-fusion then you can put them on a widget layer, which gives you the ability to control brightness etc and even hide/display all widgets with a key press.
Just running the clock (enlarged) at the moment.

OK, thanks! By the way, where can I download Ubuntu 7.10? Also where can I get the screenlets from? Thanks!

Tribe 5 is the latest which of course will keep updating, so no need to download again.
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe5
Here's the release schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule
Screenlets: http://screenlets.org/index.php
Gutsy comes with compiz fusion, so you shouldn't have to mess around trying to install compositing. If you want the CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM) then just pop into synaptic and search for compiz, you'll see the manager listed. Gutsy only comes with a simple GUI for it (right click desktop -> change desktop background -> Desktop effects) - no effects / normal effects / extra effects, so you need CCSM to take full advantage of compiz fusion.

Thanks a lot! I was thinking about just using Windows when my new HD comes, but you've made me reconsider. Just one thing, does it work with Linksys wireless cards? Thanks again!
~Jordan
This doesn't cover what Gutsy supports because it's still in testing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsLinksys
If your card is listed as working then great, if it's listed as not working or isn't listed, then still give Gutsy a try as it might now work.
If it's a USB one then scroll down here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
Also, check the Ubuntu forum - http://ubuntuforums.org
