The BIG Show Your Desktop Thread!

I use PCLinux. I've been happy with it now for more than 5 years. I like 6 windows so I can hold for example, a browser, mail, torrent, file manager etc. The picture is one of my many wallpapers which I use in a screensaver slide show.

Manjaro JWM Community Edition on an old Atom N270 Netbook:

I like Manjaro & have been involved since the beginning, truth be told that memory usage is high for jwm. You can do much better on a arch install with jwm, probably around 60MB at boot time.

Was planning an Arch installation with JWM, then got lazy when I saw Manjaro JWM.

I'm the same, too lazy to do a arch install so i'm just going with archbang these days.

So many good distro's out there now, no real need to do things from scratch. I still remember spending days compiling a BSD kernel on an Amiga in the early 1990's...

Shouldn't be a prob no more with Architect Linux Installer. Installs Arch vanilla quickly and you can go on from there.
You can find the 64-bit ISO here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/architect-linux/

Tried that and official Arch ISO, both fail to boot on my old netbook. Manjaro complains "failed to find cpu0 device node", but then continues...

Will try Arch again when I have more time. Thanks for the tip though.
