I like smoots. 1 smoot = 1.7018 meters or 67 inches.

Couple other songs. These are classics:

Johnny Cash - Heart of Gold
Johnny's great, but nothing beats the original:
Neil Young - Heart of Gold

Dylan hated the song, so here's a Dylan song as well:
Bob Dylan - All Along the Watchtower

Likewise, you don't visit the lower forums much, do you? I could of sworn I've seen that avatar somewhere though.

I second Visual Studio Express, it's free, and the editor is awesome.

There's also XCode if you're on a Mac.

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
Recently heard this on some British radio channel, and now I can't stop listening to it.

Using date and feh (or in my case gconftool) in the .xinitrc would work only when I start X. I want something to change my wallpaper at, say, 7 pm or something. I'm pretty sure gconftool can change the wallpaper from a terminal regardless of the display. (Nautilus should read gconf and update itself accordingly.)

Tried to set up compiz today, but I just couldn't figure it out. The usual GNOME, Openbox, and tint2 combo. Tried to have the desktop change according to the time of day, but I don't understand cron either. The launcher is called Synapse.

You can always dual-boot, or do what I do and have two boxes connected to one monitor with a KVM switch.

Unity, or Natty in general?
From what I've seen Unity looks pretty cool, it's a nice take on the new GNOME 3 style desktops.
And Natty because, well, it's a new Ubuntu. I tend to avoid beefy distros (running Gentoo on my desktop at the moment), but Ubuntu is great.

Seems to be running on fallback. I'll see if I can get the new interface going, I'd love to see it.

The release date was announced a few months back.

I've seen a bunch of Linux users here remove all their panels and (presumably) make a larger right click menu to keep everything. Now, I can't seem to do it in Gnome, so what do you guys use?
Run Nautilus with --no-desktop and use Openbox (with it's menu) instead of Metacity.
