Need to output it with ANSI color...There may be a way of doing that with whatever script generated the colored HTML.

BTW I am trying to collect all of the available Gentoo wallpaper in one place...One problem/issue is I have no clue whether or not there are licensing issues re: the artist, which, in almost all cases, is unclear.

Personally I think the idea of licensing wallpaper is ludicrous but I don't want some guy complaining that I'm putting his wallpaper up on the web.

Presently I have 38 wallpapers, including the one above.

The ascii one is badass. Seriously awesome.

The wallpaper is free to be used for any non-commercial purpose. Crediting me for its creation would be cool.

I tried converting the Gentoo ASCII art to ANSI colors but it basically turned out pretty ugly, what with ANSI's limited colors, and I couldn't figure out a way to save it in a portable file format. However, I've made a non-colored text version of the ASCII art, which can be found here:

quag7: Do you have your Gentoo wallpaper collection somewhere online?

Thanks to Quag7!

I made the ascii images using jp2a. I have submitted jp2a to portage as an ebuild, hopefully you'll be able to emerge it soon!

Synopsis:
I really liked the boot splash of the livecd, and wanted to use something similar as my desktop background, I wanted it to be rather simple, as for example this fine wallpaper http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Gentoo_Linux_2007.0.png , but I also wanted some kind of gentoo logo on it, preferably small in size so that it doesn't stress the eyes. I looked for the splash image for about 2 days, on the web and in some artwork packages, but I didn't really find it. And so i decided to mock it up.

And here it is: http://i3.tinypic.com/8anb975.png , I decided to give this to anybody who may want it, and since i doubt anyone is keen on having a wallpaper with my nick on it, I replaced it with the next snapshot name.... who knows, maybe it'll land on the next livecd
