Thanks! Alaska really is a beautiful place. I took it w/ a Canon G2, so it's in 2272 x 1704 at the moment. Would you like a particular resolution?

If you have anything that would fit on a Cinema Display that would be great. Thanks

I am gay, but how does my desktop picture reveal that?!?

(FWIW, Indie Rock Pete, the character who said "I'm a rocker. I rock out!" pretends to be gay in order to pick up chicks, LOL. Friday's comic is in reference to that.)

Here's a low-res version of the desktop picture on my machine at work. It's a photo I took a few years ago of the most beautiful spot on earth -- Lake McDonald, in Glacier National Park.

Wow, that's a beautiful photo!! I was able to get some great pics from Alaska, but I love the colors in that picture. Would you mind posting the full rez version?

Let's see some of your other pics as well. I'm very curious now.

Maybe this calls for its own thread though...

Osirisis: Here's the full rez pic. I didn't know how you wanted it cropped for a 16:9 display, so you get to decide!

Glad ya like the pic.

I'm really glad you liked the pic -- here's a link to a higher-res scan (about 300k):

Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park

I really liked your Kenai shot, too -- that's beautiful country up there. (I spent a few days visiting a friend in Homer several years ago, and fell in love with the place.)

Yeah, I think it would be fun to start an "amateur photographers" thread, too (with no Photoshopping allowed!). But in the meantime, here's one more Glacier shot -- this is a sunrise at Upper Quartz Lake, taken on a backpacking trip a good 20 years ago:

I took this one over the summer at The Detroit Zoo. I dig big kitties.

What the hell's going on with Linux? A 386 with an FPU used to be the minimum requirement. Is it still that for the console only apps?

1. It's on a 1 year old selfmade PC, AthlonXP 1500+ and 384MB RAM.

2. Almost everything. By default RH 8.0 doesn't install KDE, it installs Gnome 2.01, which is a good thing because Gnome 2 with RedHat's Bluecurve theme is very sexy and much more user friendly.

3. The minimum requirements for RH 8.0 is a 200MHz Pentium class CPU and 64MB of RAM.
