Actually, I remember a talk at SLUG, where afterward the presenter mentioned that he and another engineer were secretly using Linux on their machines instead of the mandated NT. They did a screen grab of the NT desktop and used it as the screensaver image, and as the background on a 2nd desktop they could flip too, in case a manager walked by. Heh. :-) Fortunately, it's even easier to do that these days, with a little bit of care. Compare and contrast: http://home.pacific.net.au/~peterhardy/win-desktop.png http://home.pacific.net.au/~peterhardy/linux-desktop.png One being a shot of Windows ME, and the other being GNOME 1.4 with nautilus. You'd probably get even better results with KDE and Konqueror, but I don't have it installed. Careful choice of window manager, and a little fiddling with [GK]DM would be sure to fool the nosiest of PHBs. -- Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
