A year or three after I started using linux I produced some tux based
linux wallpaper and put them on my website.

For three years the most common successful search terms leading people to
my site involved the words, linux tux wallpaper. If I put them all
together there were more successful queries based upon those than for
anything on the rest of the 295M wide-ranging material.

I doubt I am representative of the Linux community, but I _never_ did a
search for wallpapers. I just go to alt.binaries.pictures.supermodels on the
UseNet. Of course, some people would not want the stuff that is found there.
Most of it I would not want either. But even though I have been using a
windowing interface to Linux for about 10 years now, finding more wallpaper
is the least of my worries.

Seldom looked for wallpapers, they usually don't even have the
format needed (2560x1024) to cover both screens in front of me
completely. Resizing makes things look even more worse...
