This morning (8th may 2007) I casually plugged all my external hard drives to my iBook for a while, and I decided to do a little screenshot..
From the top to the bottom:
1) "iPooh HD": the internal hard drive (40GB) of my iBook;
2) "Recipiente": this is a 5MB read/write .dmg image where I save some temp stuff (mostly some .webloc to visit when I connect to the web..); it mounts automagically at startup thanks to a little applescript and keep my desktop clean;
3) LaCie Porsche Design 40GB USB 2.0 (inside: Western Digital 2.5' HD 4200 RPM);
4) MacPower Pleiades FW400 + USB 2.0 (inside Seagate HD 500GB);
5) CoolerMaster X-Craft Black USB 2.0 (inside Hitachi HD 250 GB).
All the icons are made by me except the iPooh HD one, that comes from the web..
Enjoy
ps. please notice the great fantasy I have into naming my hds eh eh eh

clevin,
I'm super confused. So you're running Feisty Fawn as your OS in that screengrab? The Firefox-win and FSviewer icons are really screwing me up.
yes, its Feisty Fawn
, i have both firefox-linux and firefox-windows (installed and runs through wine). Just because I like the theme of netscape 9, which is only available for windows and mac versions of firefox, no linux version FSviewer is a file manager from windowmaker (a linux desktop environment, which looks like OpenStep alot), since its very similar as the finder in OSX, so I give it that icon.
sorry not intended to confuse ppl, its just too few clue on a screenshot, im sure you won't have any problem ID it if I have any window open on the desktop.
I did not run linux on my MB, which does not have enough space for another OS, this is my Acer laptop, My MB is waiting for repair due to two hardware problems.
I do, however, use linux more frequently in recent days, I like to try new things, and tried linux many times before, mostly ended up giving them up, but this time, Ubuntu 7.04 is unbelievably solid, at least so far, and I really enjoy the flexibility of linux and its 3D UI. Right now, My linux machine (which also has vista on it, lol) meets all my need, (ripping DVD is especially easy
)Im not going away from my MB (and mini), I guess I will just be triple OS user until someday in the future I really feel one of them is much better than other two. right now, OSX and Linux are very close to each other in my situation.
new one

Curious....did you have to do some hacking to get Ubuntu to recognise Airport and Battery and overall how does it run?. Also are you running this on Parallels or dual booting via Bootcamp???
Here.
The actual pictures are bigger, you'll see the high resolution if you save them to your desktop.
read the detail above, I did not run ubuntu on my MB. AFAIK, Ubuntu will support wireless of rev A MB out of box, but will have trouble with C2D MB's wireless card, u will need to manually install driver for it (possibly through ndiswrapper)
I decided to make a really abstract background this month, so after about half an hour in photoshop here's what I came up with. I think it's pretty cool.
