This is am easy change.

Carefully remove glass from the front of your monitor.

Remove the old desktop paper.

Insert new paper into your monitor making sure the correct size is used.

Replace glass.

Good Luck.

I just dont understand Mac users bashing linux when OSX is just Darwin BSD with a fancy GUI, BSD and linux are so similar it isn't funny.

But yeah I suspect hes running a crappy distro like redhat or mandrake.

Gentoo 4 lyf fewl.

Word fools.

See, it would help if you told us a few things.

What distro, and what Window Manager you are using.

I am going to Assume RedHat with either K or Gnome.

Both of which suck.

Let me know and maybe we can help you. K Thx.

Knoppix is cool and all for messing around with but get a real distro.

Thats like cheating, since all you have to do is throw the cd in the drive and let it boot instead of windows.

That doesn't qualify as running linux to me.
