Wow, that was a surprise. Truth be told if it wasn't for the guy in the post above (likewhoa) donating some time to a beat up old mechanic, I'd have given up on Gentoo a few years back. It's been a fun ride and I can't wait to see the 20 year celebration.. |

Who were the judges and how was this judged? And what were the judges smoking?
No.1 is nice enough, but mostly due to the wallpaper. There isn't very much else to see.
No.2 is so-so, not worthy of a prize in my opinion, there were better ones submitted.
No.3 is so 1999 it's almost retro, but a winner?? It's a embarrassment.
Sorry, nothing personal if that's your screenshot. Not everyone can have a good sense of design, but I would expect better from the judges of a screenshot contest. Unless this is about showing the world that Gentoo is still a community of geeks who are challenged in that department... _________________ "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln

Billy | I'm actually in the (slow) process of updating my website, and I plan to publish a cleaned up version of my Fvwm configs at that time. I can PM you when I've actually finished all that. ...I'm writing a note to remind myself to do that... |

I also agree that #1 was awesome. I think that #3 was a lot cooler looking than #2, but life is like that. Thanks for a cool contest, comprookie2000.
Oh, and happy birthday, Gentoo Linux!
Blessed be!
