Hmmm, it's `professional' looking, but it's kind of boring too. I like Splash-EvolvingTux.png myself -- it's simple, clean, and smartly done, and unlike the others, is amusing as well (sure it's slightly geeky, but not painfully so). Surely that's got to count for something... The current default, Splash-Debian.png (the picture of a lake), is definitely the worst of the three in my opinion -- the slightly off-horizontal cast of the lake surface (which is very obvious with all the other horizontal edges nearby), the odd border, and the placement of the logo/text really make it look amateurish. It seems like someone was trying to copy the sort of photo splash image Gnome/TheGimp uses, but didn't do a very good job. -Miles -- The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. --Albert Einstein
