Post Your Desktop "Background screenshot"

I like and prefer open suse, i don't see what the big deal about ubuntu is. I mean really they are all just another linux distro IMHO. The thing I like about suse is its package manager, which runs just like apt, but its gui based. YAST manager is great too.

I have a kubuntu machine as well
 
The thing about Ubuntu is the huge community, the more people that join, the more help there is, the more help sites get setup, the easier things become.

I can't really try YAST from the Live DVD. When I last installed openSUSE it was 10.1 and YAST was buggered.

How does YAST compare to Ubuntu's Synaptic?

May I ask in what way?

At the moment I'm finding it pretty much like any distro using KDE except for the menu system which I can't decide whether I like or not.

hmm i just like how it looks....I tried Ubuntu and i didnt realy like the look of it.

Now i dunno how diffrent ubuntu is to Suse but i prefered Suse.
 
It's Ubuntu with KDE.

Ubuntu comes with GNOME and Kubuntu comes with KDE but you can install any desktop environment you want on either one of them.

If you like that screenshot then you would want Kubuntu.

Yes it's free.

openSUSE is also free, see my screenshots a page back.
If you're a new user then I would suggest you give openSUSE 10.2 a try first, it's one of the most professional looking distros I've seen.

i use Ubuntu, as i prefer the gnome look (mac like) instead of KDE (windows like)


The thing with ubuntu, when you first install it, it looks all horrible, dull and brown. With a few simple tweaks you can make it look very nice.

Ubuntu is very nice, and if i dident have windows i would use it. the thing is though, i do have windows, and it does everything (nearly) that ubuntu can + more and with a lot less hassle. I am a fan of Linux and ubuntu, but im still sticking with windows.
 
I use Suse KDE 10.2 at school and i kinda like ubuntu better, though i have not messed with the appearance properties much. I wonder if i can since i dont have and admin accound. Is there a live version of Suse. I wanna mess around with it but i am happy with Ubuntu so i dont want to install it to try it.

openSUSE 10.2 downloads here: http://download.opensuse.org/

There is a Live DVD which is what I have been using recently. It takes a while to boot as expected but is suprisingly quick once loaded.

KDE is also very configurable, in fact it seems more configurable than GNOME. It also has the option by default to have a MAC OSX style Desktop menu bar at the top of the screen.
