Quick 10 Question Linux Desktop Quiz

Since Feburary is Linux Desktop Environment Month here at FOSS Force, we figured what better way to get the ball rolling than with a fun quiz to test your knowledge of Linux DEs. It’s down-and-dirty — kind of like a pop quiz — and because we believe in privacy, nothing is going on your permanent record.

Have fun, and good luck!

(Oh, and don’t forget that starting on Wednesday, February 8, you’ll have a chance to vote for your favorite desktop in our Readers Choice Linux Desktop Environment poll.That will definitely be fun…and interesting! The team behind the winning DE will get a couple of tickets to All Things Open, some t-shirts, hats…and maybe even more!)

    I got 8/10, could have been 9/10 but I jumped the gun too fasy on XFCE’s mascot.
    Hint: should read ALL of the choices before selecting one 😉

    Oh well, 9/10 – got the Pantheon question wrong, but then I only knew of it at all because I really liked their Display Manager customisation but decided it was too hard to import it into my stock Xubuntu setups.
