I agree.

I have always wondered why people are so obsessed with blue backgrounds
and themeing [1]. Almost everyone i know personally using Ubuntu uses
the brown background, and i don't hear them complain, despite all the
people on IRC saying "no one likes the default background" :)
Another reason i like brown is at 60hz its a *whole lot* easier to look
at then blue at 60 hz [2].

[1] theming i can sort of understand come to think about it...
[2] i do change my terminal from white to black - works better at 60 hz :D
