Time for some scrots of April, and since I've been on a Fringe binge the last week or two, here it is in another color... Gotta love the gifts to Peter from his dad Dr. Bishop!

Another shot showing off my drop down Xfce4-terminal... GMB Layout by VastOne, system conky originally created by McLovin, but I've mangled it up pretty good to suit me...
The Tint2 bar acting as an App launcher is on autohide and why it is not showing in the first scrot...

Nice shots.
I was messing around with a drop-down terminal for a couple days; I can see how that would be become a standard setup.
Simple maroon(ish) and gray fluxbox style -

Hi!
I'm gonna turn this into a "build-log" but i'll be quick about it. First a scrot though :

Before :
* Intel "something" mainboard
* Intel Core 2, 2.2 Ghz (E4500)
* 2 Gb DDR1/667mhz ram,
* "some random harddrive" (got replaced alot!)
* Onboard VGA(or lack off!) and LAN(10 Mbit)
And now this : (picture first!)
(http://s15.postimg.org/qp5bbw493/itx_build.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/qp5bbw493/)
* ASRock H61MV-ITX
* Celeron 2.7Ghz (1620)
* 4 Gb DDR3/1333
* 320GB WD Blue
* onboard Graphics (HD 2500)
* onboard LAN (1000 Mbit)
Sure it's only a dual core Celeron, but for what I use this machine for (or plan to anyway) this CPU is more than enough for me
Just wanted to share, because i'm very happy with what i've build, and very low cost too (I guess all in all, replacing everything from the old system (basicly just pulled the powercord and pushed it under my bed) I payed like $300 (- the monitor, keyboard and mouse)
So yeah, i'm happy. And the best part is... its 98% silent... Here is why :

So... I was messing with some conky for my i3...

Now it has so many pretty colors, depending on how much i'm hammering my cpu, ram usage, net speed, and so on...
My laptop :)

Clean install of VSIDO - (messed up my Slackware install, went back to all debian/vsido for now - keeps things simpler)

@vastone - I was using Slackel (based on Slackware current) and kind of borked it myself. Was going to go ahead and install their sister distro Salix - both are solid distros if anyone wants to check out Slackware and have the convenience of gslapt (apt for slackware) - but went with my other solid distro of choice - VSIDO - so I'll have the same distro on both computers.
Looks like this computer may be losing a hard drive (sda = win7, sdb = shared data sdc = vsido) or Windows is going corrupt; showing it's age, I built it back in 2000/2001.

Been running gnome on my macbook pro and I have mixed emotions

^ Mixed emotions? Anyone running that combo and admits to it lives in a nuthouse somewhere in Cali who says brb in the IRC channel and then is gone for 2 months ...
???
LOOOOL! Ok thats fair.........
But did you see those fish? those pics are better than any note I forged in my moms writing when I ditched school.
^ Indeed!
Show those incredible fish pics here and it will be a great way to close April
btw I now have good internet service so if you need to host downloads somewhere or whatever just let me know. No more 5 hour downloads
Thanks man... I think we have it down fairly well now but if needed I will holler down at you in the holler
Done!
Well as VastOne mentioned I tend to disappear from time to time........
Work has been crazy (as usual) but I also took some time for myself which involved killing fish which as some of you know is a favorite past time of mine

I've really tried to embrace other WM's, but just can't get away from the simplistic and elegant form of Fluxbox...
Oh I completely agree with you but my inability to get the secondary or right click working in fluxbox on my Mac sort of ruins it.
Fluxbox is still the ruler over all on my desktops.
