And I've been leaving my powerball on the desk as well and you can't see it in the photo but there's friggin dust everywhere!Some of you guys , and yes it does seem to be the guys, need to get out on your bikes more often. Feckin tidy desks and computers every feckin where. ...

No current shot of my home desk at the mo... only when it had 2 screens, now it has 3... sometimes I wish my work one had 3 instead of 2. A lot of people ask what on earth you need 2 for. Well, from all the clients experiences, its obvious, once you have tried it, you never go back
I have attached a screenshot from work (and it even proves guys can multi-task!!) and before anyone asks, yes, I was using everything concurrently, but that was basically my limit.
Yes... I am a techie, and where's the anonymous support group?

I counted around 25 windows of different things, I was looking at several servers in NZ and Oz, and basically, that was my heads limit, I was on the verge of losing what was going on where...

I wish I could post a pic of my desk. My office is in the country out towards Mt Holdsworth Carterton, from my desk I have a beautiful view of the Tararuas, (just awesome to ride to work on my bike). Desk is always clean, but the office dishes never are!

Ya need Linux more than you think....I run 4 virtual desktops....one for web, one for file manager, one for media and last one has my email client on it....very clean and uncluttered

Thats one thing I actually don't like about Linux is virtual desktops and never use them... and hate the Windows ones just as much...
First off I don't see the point and or difference of pushing a button on a task bar to change too another virtual on your desktop to get to an open application when you can simply push the button on the task bar or icon in your system tray. Especially when I find it quicker using Alt Tab or even Alt Esc to select an open application, than trying to remember which desktop has which application open.
It doesn't really save any system resourses and really does the opposite as its an extra application clogging the system. Is it tidyer uncluttered desktop debatable

It really depends how these virtual desktops are executed. To me at least, to have different ones just for different programs does seem to be overkill.
However, on the flip side, by running programs in a virtual environment, you separate your software from your hardware, making the environment hardware independent. Long story short, thats a good thing, enabling much faster migrations.
dang... I should go to bed...

They're not virtual desktops as in virtualisation, Gremlin. That would be very silly.
I'm talking about virtual desktops as in the tiny lightweight feature (maybe 2-3kB -- yes kB, not mB -- of RAM) that has been kicking around in window managers since the late 80s. Here you go -- both of you sound confused -- wikipedia is your friend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_desktop
There is a screenshot of a fancy cube switching system, which would drain resources, but that's just fancy graphics and most implementations really are about a page or less of source code. NighthawkNZ -- you sound a bit confused; this is not a whole other application, rather a base feature built into the core window manager. You don't have to use it either; you can continue to use your computer as if the other 3 desktops don't exist, it's just like normal. This is what I do most of the time. A feature that I never use taking an extra 5kB of RAM is hardly a big issue when I'm using 50-60mB (that's 51200-61440kB) less of RAM overall compared to Windows. Not that I'm going to disrespect Windows (which is a perfectly valid and useable operating system), but just pointing out it's a tiny amount in the grand scheme of things, and hardly feature bloat -- and I'm a chap who uses vim and programs in C, so that's a big thing for me to say

ah... wouldn't work for me, when the vast amount of my time is spent comparing or referring to something, so they need to be side by side. I just run a large desktop space, with a double or triple height taskbar. As NighthawkNZ said anyway, you work the way thats best for you.
Besides... I have 4GB of ram in my home machine, 3GB in the work one...(Yes yes, I know you guys will point out you wouldn't need that much in linux or unix...
