Sit here and watch the squiggly lines for all four processors 'nd marvel at how many resources I've still got to waste or tap if I wanna. Find all the neat goodies that are hidden away in it just waiting to be discovered like this wallpaper I never gnu was available in any OS with all the facilities it got. Seen world lights, I've seen globes that rotated with the time, and few other combo, but this one it seems like some enterprising, innovative Geek combined all of it together with bunch other stuff like satellite view, Google Earth, etc. into a wallpaper that when the scroll button on the mouse is rolled, the zoom in or out on the Globe is activated. Left button and drag one can rotate the globe to any position. This first shot is showing zoom of Temple area up in upper left and Houston lower right. Second shot is zoomed back out into space and polar view of earth with European lights and North American Daylight. It's like having Google Earth built into the desktop. ;-)
Anyway, I did the latest Mandriva or Final 2010 64 bit release install with KDE 4 yesterday evening and just now getting around to exploring and tweaking it out. This release of Mandriva is kinda like Win 7. last few Mandriva I run kinda sucked like last vista did, but they seem to have got it all together on this release.
So...
I wound up with a 'chine that got Win 7, Mandriva 2010, Sabayon 5.0, and Warren's yesterday's Maintenance upgrade of MEPIS in a Quad boot configuration on a quad core 64.
That ought to keep me entertained until Monday or so. ;-)
