Going in a way more sensible direction... minimal power.. minimal bloat. A home made operating system (lfs v4.8 streamlined right down) using the debian repositories. 32mb's ram.. 266 cpu . 6 gig WD caviar hdd
Creaky will appreciate this XD

I will admit cheating a little. I built the kernel and modules on a much faster machine, then patched them later after swapping them across.
Then again.. you could get very much the same results by just installing the core system in lo-ram mode.. then adding just the bits required.
Right now I'm in the middle of backing up 6 years worth of odds and ends before a total rebuild from scratch of this.. my internet and mission control.. amd1900+

Every OS needs a reformat and refresh once in a while for peak condition. Linux included XD
I'll have to admit though that I'm comparatively Linux retarded. I'm a PC gamer XD

I like this screensaver. The first time I saw it, was on display in either costco, bestbuy, circuit city, etc. Here is a thought to make it a little better. Because currently they simply look like balls on a pool table. If they were to allow their light source to move slowly, it might appear like the rising/setting sun :D Perhaps even brief moments of glare, or simply more settings for the screensaver.

Something to note about that particular screensaver, is that before it engages, it takes a "still shot" of your desktop. So, when its running, dont trust anything such as, clock, temperature, etc.

That's nice CREAKS.... Is that the "letterbox view" of that movie?? Good movie and I haven't seen it in years, actually I may be confusing that with "House of Wax". ;)
So how you liking Windows 7 thus far?? I know you didn't care for Vista.... as most of us didn't. ;)

I just stretched the Media Player Classic screen. But i usually play my movies thru the old xboxes where you can easily flick between widescreen etc modes.
Win7 just works, am not missing XP at all :)
I only have W7 on this machine now, had it on the AMD laptop but there's no XP or Vista audio drivers available for that laptop so went back to XP on that one. Would love to replace XP on the Quad Core machine but as that machine's only ever switched on to encode or backup movies to the external hard drives i don't see the point yet (it's too noisy anyway). These days I tend to just temporarily hook up the external drives containing movie backups to this W7 pc and watch via the xbox. My netbook is always on *cough* download *cough* duty so i don't want to mess about upgrading that one, and again there's not much point as it's not used for anything else. Most of my other machines are either too old for W7 and/or are perfectly happy running whichever other OS like Solaris and a few versions of Linux.

I decided to turn to the dark side and try out Ubuntu as never had before. Desktop linuxes are all the same difference to me so for a bit of variety i tried out Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 on my Acer Aspire One. The Aspire is my torrent machine under XP but i had installed MiniMe 2008 on there ages ago but hardly used it. So i just popped a 2GB SD card into my poundshop SD card reader, used a boot utility ~ FromImgFiles to make the card bootable and was able to install UNR in no time at all (i just removed MiniMe and replaced with UNR). Works fairly well, a bit laggy but it'll only get used once in a blue moon as it's always used in XP mode. I'm impressed as to how easy the install went. Manually installed Adobe Flash and that's about it for now.

And...A masterpiece LOL! For those interested in knowing how I did this, I can give you a nudge in the right direction. But im still far from understanding the program in its entirety. I do understand the basics of how the program works. It does amount to a bit of mathematics. Go figure LOL! I imagine more than one person will ask me about this, when that time comes, i'll begin considering an in depth tutorial. For now, just play around :)
I owe the last few days of entertainment, as well as this little creation, to a little utility (free utility) called "Andrea Mosaic"! So far, my PhenomII does quite well with it(At 25% cpu utilization no less). Most pics have been rendered in under a minute. The only bugs, have been associated with invalid video codecs, when trying to collect "Tiles" from a video source. Im quite intrigued by that method. I can think of hundreds of ideas associated with that little ability LOL! Until I figure out that minor handicap, im still quite content!
Please be warned, that the following is 1.13Mb in size, and MAY take some time. I didn't compress anymore because the tiles, have already been violated enough LOL! The tiles consist of, pictures taken Via satellite. VERY awesome pics, might I add.
I dedicate this to you "Red Ice" :D Live long and prosper Sonic!
And a DIRECT link
This is the original Picture here

LOL! At least now, your aware of a FREE program that can WOW some relatives of yours ehh? :) The thought occurred to me recently. I was remembering a puzzle that me and my father worked on that was Mosaic! And I thought, Heck...there has to be a program available to the public by now :D

oman7,
The mosaic looks like a neat little program, going to check it out this summer and see what it can do with all those interfacelift backgrounds that are located somewhere on my hdd's.
