My desktop has been completely devoid of anything for some time now. I'm on an Eee, so any windows cover it completely, and there's not that much to install.

I just dump everything on my desktop, but hide the icons.

this is what it looks like:

I took the picture myself.
Ha, that's the first time I've seen a Windows 7 with a proper left-to-right interface. I shall cherish this moment for ever and ever.
What? But... that's what the default looks like.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

Me too, kinda. I put everyhting in c:/Users/me/, and went all 'burn it' on my desktop cluttering icons. And I finally tried rainmeter. The icon under the date is the only shortcut, it took me a while to find an icon that didn't look to bad and I had to trick windows into using a hardspace as file name, but I managed to fit it in.

cool, very minimalist :)
what's the single icon open? is it just a folder or...?

Yes, but here in Israel, they sell all OSs in Hebrew, and because Hebrew read right-to-left, they had to flip the whole damn interface. God, I hate those geniuses over at Microsoft.

That doesn't really make much sense if you think about it.  If you read from left to right / top to bottom the best place for the start menu is top left where you would start to read... not bottom. I move my start menu up top because it's less mousing (all the menus are up there, etc.) but I never thought about it in a "reading" manner.  If that's what they were going for with the Start Menu placement, they've apparently failed epically in implementing only half of the convention.

"Having faith" that the bridge will not fall, implies that the bridge itself isn't that trustworthy. It's not that different from "I pray that the bridge will hold my weight."

What's this? It's a pie necroing a thread, that's what it is.

Finaly, I managed to set Gentoo up, and it way better than your Ubuntu.

Need some better fonts (X sports very few fonts, and they're all so very tiny) and a working version of Chromium ASAP. Oh, and some plugins to go with it, I can't even remember the last time I installed flash.

Yeah, all fonts are separate packages there, in media-fonts category.

Yeah, I ended up installing the windows fonts and terminus. I also learned I can emerge chromium, which works much better than using the project's silly version control.

Slow epiphany is slow.

As stated in the post, e17 (http://www.enlightenment.org/) compiled from head SVN. But its unfinished (horrible filemanager for example), and has bad habit of requiring recompile for each damn change in x11 or graphics libs.
