[ubuntu-us-in] Ubuntu-us-in Digest, Vol 44, Issue 12

[Jason Corfman]

I still think Ubuntu's best default wallpaper was 8.04 Hardy Heron. That
one just looked cool.

But I agree, wallpapers are easy to change, and it typically is one of the
first things I do to customize my computer (no matter what OS I'm on...
although I kept the Heron for a while).
