You are most welcome http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/how_to_submit.php <<---- here the first line on this site is: "At OSDir, you may also submit your Linux desktop screenshot!" FreeBSD is NOT ANOTHER PENGUIN IMPLEMENTATION Secondly, I believe that this concept of posting screenshots is pretty unprofessional and childish. Its like saying "Yay! my desktop is prettier than yours". At FreeBSD we concentrate more on quaality than looks. Secondly, FreeBSD does not have any Native GUI unlike few distributions like Mandrake who use a costomized GUI. Thus IMHO a FreeBSD screenshot would just be a black screen with some scribbles on it :-). -- --------------050206060801010102050802--
