Send me your Linux screenshots!

Tux

Ta-dah! It’s no other than Tux the Linux mascot. :D I have asked a friend, Nissie (who runs a shop at Etsy called Deadcraft) to make a Tux keychain which I’d be giving away to one lucky winner of this month’s contest.

The mechanics:
1. Post a comment on this post with a screenshot of your Linux desktop and tell a little something about it. Please make it a worksafe screenshot. :) All those with NSFW screenshots will not be posted on this blog as images but will still be accessible as links only. Make sure that you put your name and email address in your comment. You should put the thumbnail of your screenshot in an IMG tag and the URL of the full resolution of the screenshot must be linked to the thumbnail. Thumbnails must be at most 200 pixels high. (I am not sure how wide it will be at the minimum. Some have dual monitor setups and it depends on your screen resolution anyway.)

OR

If you don’t have a blog, send the screenshot to me and I’d post it on the blog. Please don’t forget the description, your name and email address.

OR

If you have a blog you could choose to not write a post here. Instead, you could trackback to this post. :) I think that trackbacks appear immediately so it’s ok. It would be ok either way. It would be good if you have your contact information on your blog so I could do number 3 of the mechanics.

Deadline of entries is October 31, 2008 @ 12 midnight, Philippine time.

2. Each person can only join this contest once. You will be assigned a number.

3. The moment I receive the contest entry, I will email you that I have indeed received your entry.

4. On October 31, 2008 @ 12 midnight, Philippine time, I will stop considering entries. If you were able to submit your entry by then but haven’t received your confirmation email yet, don’t fret. :) I just might haven’t checked my comments yet or something. There’s a timestamp, so I’d know. :)

5. Out of the numbers assigned to the contestants, I will be picking out one. I will pick a winner through a random number generator. Once done, I will post the name of the winner, and the newbie experience he/she submitted.

Thanks and I hope to see your screenshots soon!

    sorry about that. Some bad HTML and wrong filenames combined to make that entire image not show up.

    Sorry I didn’t post this earlier but my computer’s processor screwed up and I had to wait to order another one. I like dark and low-contrast themes more than things like the Ubuntu Human Theme.
