Post your "Oldies" Desktop Screenshots!
I was looking through some old files and came across these two screenshots made way back when I was using Mandrake. Here's my very first screeshot with my first distro, KDE on Mandrake 8.2 around 2002...

And another that shows I've been an IceWM user from way back. Mandrake 9 from around 2004...

Link

Let's see yours!

I remember the old mozilla icon. Although it isn't as slick as firefox's, I always liked it.

I know I'm digging up an old thread here, but I found this earlier on....



It was Mandrake, think it was 9.0 or 9.2. I ran them all from 8.x until LE 2005 and I remember this was my favourite until I later switched to SUSE 9.3. Back when it was hard to get the Professional edition

Man things looked much clunkier back then.

lol... that was some pretty fancy stuff for back then.

According to the date under the clock, it appears that was in May of 2004.

Don't hang on to screenshots but I remember a friend of mine having some screens from forever ago when we installed Yggdrasil on his parents' box. I'll see if he still has them, might be interesting from an historical standpoint, I hope he still has them somewhere. I think we ended up spending weeks worth of man hours trying to get stuff to work, quite an experience. R.I.P. Yggdrasil...

I actually still have a shoe box full of slack floppys, slack 3.0. I should try to install it on a virtual machine and take some screen for fun.
