First there were Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" mock-up designs, now showing up are tons of user-created wallpapers dedicated to the next major release version of this popular Linux distribution. If you are interested, let me show you some of those wallpapers here. But please take note that this is not a “best Linux wallpapers list” so I encourage you to lower your expectations and stop oneself from sending us violent reactions :-) However, if you happen to know a link or two to other good Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope-related wallpapers, please do share it with us via comment. So without further delay, here they are:

Btw, who the heck thought that non English speaker would what a "jaunty jackalope" is?. It is the most ridiculous name I've heard in a while.
4th is kitchey beyond belief, unless intentional irony was the goal.
And enough with the caca brown motif.
At least the Kubuntu Ive tried has stayed away from that horrible color scheme.
My sister asked me to put on her Dell Mini 9 a Linux like the one I run (Mandriva w/ KDE) because the Ubuntu was depressing her with its Windows 95 look.
Other Gnome desktops are pretty ugly too but the earth tones of Ubuntu is granolacraptastic
Ready?
"Brown"
First class ..
The rest? Nice, but at risk of sounding like a drone... Brown?!? Really?!? Can't we move away from brown already?
If the theme is gonna be brown, let brown be and make a brown wallpaper, but those have to much colors, stay in a narrow range of variations of brown, mixed with black and low.profile colors, but the one with ultra-brigth brown is really awfull, and the jaunty drawing looks too japanese.
They're generally too bright, come with something more abstract to enfatisize creativity.
(me spanish, sry misspelling)
Meh.
