Default wallpaper?

Based off the screenshots, the desktop looks to me like a bloody faceprint on a cave wall.

Or is it significant of "Bang Head Here" when configuration works like 8.04?

The biggest most awesome change in Intrepid!!!

You know that GTK bug where if your mouse cursor is on a button and the button becomes greyed out so you can't click it and then it becomes normal again but your mouse cursor has been in it the whole time but now you can't click the button even though it's normal now so you have to move your mouse pointer OUT of the button and then back into it again to get the button to work? You know that bug? The one that makes you want to rip out your hair and scream?

Well it's fixed. Whoever is the awesome person who fixed that is my hero. Someone give that person a fucking cookie.

Is there a torrent of the torrent?

I can't seem to even get through to download the torrent.

Just in case you all need someone to hate, I'll let it be me .... My company has a local mirror and I'm connected to in with Gigabit Ethernet. I can NFS mount the mirror.

The hates, it is beguns, in earnest, white-hot and seething, tending to a brooding, dark shade of green that shimmers as a ... Wait. Wha? Oh screw it. Lucky you.

I didn't do a LiveCD because I did not overwrite my Windows partition, just tried to install on a separate partition

As a quick test (nobody answer for him), how did you do the install without booting the LiveCD?

Maybe in and around its burrows, in the rocky crags of the southern plains, approximately 60Km from the western shore.

If I'm going to be hungry later, and my apple supply isn't going to be refreshed until further down the road, you bet your ass I'd refuse to share.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the Apple fanbois got a hold of this thread.
