How did you manage to achieve that? Looks damn cool! It would look even more sexier if there was a trail of the characters falling

If you're on Ubuntu, just do a sudo apt-get install cmatrix

For a nice effect, use this command
cmatrix -b -C green

Hehe, try pink sometime, burns eyes

@phreak0utt: yes, it is cmatrix with semi-transparent terminal.

@QwertyManiac: can it be used as screensaver? or/and in full screen.

QwertyManiac · 17-12-2006, 06:26 PM

^^
Nopes, I dont think so. Cant be done in Gnome/KDE but if you are in the Linux Terminal environment, you can apply this

cmatrix -s
am not sure what cmatrix -x does though
But see in your screensaver menu, there is a cooler 3D matrix screensaver with fading characters in it. Its called GLMatrix I think.

**kalpik** · 17-12-2006, 07:13 PM

Yeah.. Nothing beats GL Matrix. That's the best matrix screensaver i've ever seen!

LXP it is a theme for icewm desktop enviorement. gnome is certainly better in terms of functionality. installed now, just for testing, it reminds me of xubuntu (print screen key not working). i am posting here mine 2 screenshots taken with ksnapshot

windows logo is also there, isnt it copyrighted?

Well, I'm on Fedora 5 64-bit. Any help there? I'll try out what Kalpik has suggested as well. PINK??????? That's gross dude

GLmatrix is a screen saver preinstalled in ubuntu. it is available in ubuntu repository. I dont think it can be installed on Fedora. it looks like this:

QwertyManiac · 21-12-2006, 05:27 PM

Erhm, sariq, I meant magenta actually hehe,

phreak0ut · 25-12-2006, 10:48 AM

Looks like you just downloaded the Linkin Park wallpaper. If that's a whole Linkin Park theme, then that's good

Howzzat??

ajayashish · 08-01-2007, 12:39 AM

hey i have the same image on my desktop... i love it so much that fr the past 6 months i have not changed that

mediator · 08-01-2007, 01:07 AM

^^Yea I agree, real nice image. I loved it at first glance.

caleb · 08-01-2007, 06:26 AM

Hi paragkalra & tech_your_future, I check both your blog sites and really liked them. I especially agree with waht parag wrote in his blog about Linux not being a very easy OS for beginners. Having said that I'd like to suggest if either of you (or anyone else who is a hardcore Linux user/geek) can start a thread (or add in your blog's) some tips for newbies to Linux about how to install plug-ins, programs etc.

Basically some simple things that you know which you feel newbies would get stumped on. You can even get feedback from newbies/recent converts to linux to tell you the problems they face. It'd be nice if it does not include any jaragon but in a simple way so an newbie can understand. Because all the forums & linux sites I visit they make it sound so complicated which is a major put off for any novice who is thinking of shifting or trying out Linux. If all you linux gurus put your heads together you can really come up with a great thread that will be helpful for many people like me...hey who knows you might even help many people to convert from windows.

What say?
BTW parag I signed your guest book in your blog.

eddie · 09-01-2007, 12:31 AM

Here's one I took a few days ago

mediator · 09-01-2007, 01:07 AM

^^Neat!

caleb there's a lot of resources out there. Read the sticky posts. They have a lot of links and many of them are addressed to new users. Implement them as you read, you'd become familiar using linux without much effort.
There are really nice documentations out there so we need not really reinvent the wheel. There are a very few areas that aren't really covered, if you look deep enough.
