FVWM is ugly. Try one of the others, like Windowmaker or IceWM or
whatever.

I installed both, they're much better looking. I'll have to play with
them some to decide which I like better. I still like KDE, though, but
for some stuff it's way too slow. I suspect someday I might use KDE a
lot less. Thanks for the tip!

I do not know IceWM, but look in YaST for extra windowmaker tools. It is
pretty easy to configure. http://houghi.org/shots/wmaker/index.php for
how mine look like. wmdrawer is something I realy like.

There also is XFSCE (or whatever its name is). However I thought
WindowMaker was much easier to configure.

I got them from alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper I think I am going to
put all of my wallpapers in on big gzipped file and thenbittorrent it.

I have about 38.000 of them. :-D Almost 12GB.

The easiest to geth those backgrounds is from
http://houghi.org/shots/wmaker/index.php Click on the image and then if
you have no idea what to do, click on Help at the bottom.

Yes. Now look at those penguins.. nice streamlined bills, sleek coat of
feathers (fur? hair?).

Then compare to the Linux logo. I have always thought that the Linux
logo looks like Daffy Duck's fat retarded cousin. The logo artist should
make a cooler looking penguin. should I file a bug report? hehehe

The four of them (or maybe 20 of the same style) would be enough :-))
Maybe, if you torrent then, you could split then in smaller archives
by type (for exemple : wallpaper_pinguins.gz :-)

Well, of course I know what to do, but the resolution is 720x540, I
was asking you because I was hopping you had a nicer resolutioin
available, but if not, this one will do it perfectly.
Tx a lot, once more :-))

daffy Duck. Is he related to Daisy, because she is HOT. It isn't without
a reason they call hot pants also Daisy Ducks.

You can. So what have you come up with? It will be put up for a vote
and then be shot down, because it doesn't look like what it is now.

Nah. If then everything. Also I will put it in RAR files which contain a
ZIP file and then at 98% upload, I pull the plug. :-D
