My computer is a rather old (in computer years) Dell Inspiron 1200 running Lubuntu 11.04 (soon to be upgraded to 12.04). It has a 1.4 GHz Intel Celeron processor, a 40GB HD and 241 MB memory.
At the beginning, the limited memory of this laptop wouldn't let me install Ubuntu 10.04, hanging somewhere after setting up the keyboard during the installation process, so I installed Lubuntu 10.04 instead and later upgraded to newer versions.
The wallpaper is from a picture taken by me or by my wife lying on the sand at Maracas Bay beach, Trinidad and Tobago.

Attached is my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS desktop that I use for work and leisure. I run all three major operating systems (Linux, Mac & Windows) in various forms. I like Linux the best for two main reasons: 1) it's free, and 2) it has a low requirement for hardware - even on this old Dell D630 laptop with 4GB of RAM, Linux runs circles around my MacBook Pro 8GB RAM/2.66GHz laptop when it comes to operating system responsiveness. I'm never left waiting with Linux.
Thanks Linux developers! Keep up the good work.

Here is a screenshot of my desktop. The wallpaper is a fire truck from the Austrian company Rosenbauer, and can be found at http://www.autogaleria.hu/kl.php?kid=68919-Rosenbauer-Mercedes-Atego-918-Feuerwehr-2005
I have an Acer Aspire 5742G with i5 480M, Nvidia Geforce GT 420M, 500GB HDD and 4GB RAM. Currently, I use Ubuntu 11.10. For the look I changed some values at the ambiance theme at /usr/share/themes. Everyone familiar with web-programing can do it too, because it´s just simple CSS and the name of the color says what it´s used for. For activating the theme I used Ubuntu Tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
For those who want to use the theme I published it via Ubuntu One http://ubuntuone.com/7f6WQPM3VTbaJqQ96GP6S1 Hope you like it.

I 'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit with 3D Unity on my laptop. As you can see I have made many improvements with Ubuntu Tweak 0.7
To make my monitor look bigger, I changed the size of the unity icons to 32, and opacity to 0. I use Radiance Gtk theme along with Faenza-Blue-Dark2 icons 'cause I think they are very COOL. The wallpaper is live photos of Earth every 1 minute with xPlanetFX.
I also use three conkys: one for system monitoring, one for the weather, and one for knowing who's celebrating every day.
System specs Dell Inspiron 1564, i3 CPU M330 2.13GHz RAM 4GB HDD 500GB 15.4 led monitor - 1366 x 762 resolution.
