Something has gone wrong heh. This was supposed to be Mandrake 5.1

A distorted Linux desktop showing two terminal windows at the top-left and top-right corners, each displaying a root prompt. The background is heavily glitched with horizontal noise-like lines, and a mouse cursor shaped like an “X” is visible at the center

A blue KDE desktop screenshot with no open windows. Device and folder icons (Trash, Templates, Autostart, CDROM, FLOPPY, HOME, RPMmanager, XKill) run down the left side. A gray bottom panel shows workspace buttons labeled One–Four and small application icons; the clock reads '06:20 Jan 01'

A blue KDE desktop screenshot. A terminal window near the upper-right displays a root prompt and the output 'release 5.1 (Venice)'. Icons for Trash, Templates, Autostart, CDROM, FLOPPY, HOME, RPMmanager and XKill line the left side; a panel with application icons runs along the bottom and the clock reads '06:19 Jan 01'

A blue KDE desktop screenshot showing the KDE Control Center window centered. The control panel lists categories on the left and system details on the right (User: root, Hostname: localhost.localdomain, System: Linux, Release: 2.0.35, Machine: i686). A small 'About KDE' dialog overlaps the lower-right with text about the KDE project and an OK button. The bottom panel and taskbar icons are visible; clock reads '06:21 Jan 01'
