This is Xgl/Compiz(now known as Beryl Project) running on my secondary comp which is a 4 year old dell with 2.4 ghz P4 proc, Nvidia 6600 GT gfx card, and only 512 megs of RAM.

The music is Sidology Ep 2: Trinity, By Machinae Supremacy.

This Linux install was SuSE 10.1 and I now use Sabayon Linux. Which you can get here:
http://www.sabayonlinux.org Three versions include Mini CD install, Full x86 32bit install and Full x86 64bit install DVDs!


The theme is a custom theme; which unfortunately I lost when my main hardrive died on me. :(

However, you can get the wallpaper I used from my box.net account here:

A few other cool backgrounds here:

The original backgrounds I downloaded from www.caedes.net; a great site which has many many more awesome backgrounds. The cubecaps are from art.gnome.org.

Go here for 'Powered by Free Software' cubecap (this one was downscaled from the original using gimp to 1280x1024 to work with my res)

and here for 'Linux - Rided The Wave' cubecap.

The skydome can be found here. It, along with several of the others below, I made myself by splicing a mirrored version of the original and modifying it slightly so the two sides don't appear as perfect replicas of each other.

  • they think its not ...

    they think its not commercially viable for them to allow homebrew and full access would allow just that...

  • this is not only ...

    this is not only throttling homebrew but scientists hoping to use the ps3 as well. obviously scientists still have a tremendous amount of power available but not to its full potential. we need full access to Cell but most importantly access to RSX and full RAM. so here's hoping they chill out on the controlling bullshit and give us access. if there's anything to go by from the last generation and full ps2 access in linux its not going to happen :(

  • nope not yet.... ...

    nope not yet.... the need to remove the damned redundant software security layer running on cell (which i don't understand why they have running for any other reason than to throttle hardware access under linux... Cell's hardware based security features are more than sufficient.) so far because of this redundant software security layer or "virtualisation" layer as they call it we only have access to about 20% of the Cell's power and absolutely no access to RSX and only 10% RAM....

  • i just assumed you ...

    i just assumed you were like the vast majority of people and had no clue about the commodore scene... to most people i could mention c64 and amiga and they would go "oh that old thing... ancient obsolete POS... VISTA FTW!!" and i would shake my head in disgust because while the interface may be obsolete the interior architecture is actually decades ahead of all these bloated POS we have now... it didnt even pop in my head at the time what you were really referring to...

  • also as mentioned ...

    also as mentioned by another previous poster i did indeed add machinae nodding a head as tribute a modern OS finally having an intuitive interface like amiga.

  • ahh fair enough ...

    ahh fair enough hehe i see what you mean! yeah... it is sacrilidge... i'd much prefer amiga OS over linux any day I wish it would be revived along with the BeOS project... 2 great ultra fast ultra intuitive OS left to die... (in my opinion linux... while still a great OS has much too bloated of an architecture... BRING BACK OBJECT ORIENTED FILESYSTEMS AND OS's DAMMIT!)

  • Yes I know, but SID ...

    Yes I know, but SID is the C= scene. Been in it for 23 years, even after the fall of C= in 1994 and the death of Miner...
    I think Machinae Supremacy is really for the C= scene....

    sacrilegious?! no... have you ever even listened to the lyrics of a good amount of their music? they pretty much hate corperate capitalism... it would be sacriligious if i tried to show off windows using their music... microshaft is one of those that would be considered a capitalist self-righteous money grubbing pig...

    DUDE! You are using "Sidology Ep 2: Trinity" to show off Linux!?!? That's sooo sacrilegious! I hope Machinea Supremacy never finds out... :'/
