Here's a screen shot of my linux desktop. I use a debian based distribution from Ubuntu at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ . If you're interested in the different distributions then http://distrowatch.com/ is an informative site to visit. The terminal you see in the center of the desktop is running protein folding at home distributed computing software from http://folding.stanford.edu/ . Figured my computer might as well be doing something useful when I'm not using it. This is what my desktop looks like.
