I don't know much about Linpus (i.e. nothing), but try

1. right-click on the desktop and see if you get the option "change desktop background"

2. Find a picture, load it into your image viewer, and look in that program's menus for "set as wallpaper"

3. Look in the main menu for a section on preferences and something that configures the appearance or the desktop.



It surely makes more sense to stick with what you've got, especially since Linux was placed on the smaller machines (less suited to Windows) and XP is going to be unsupported soon. You could always replace Linpus by something for which it's easier to get help, like Ubuntu Netbook Edition. The job is easy enough:

It's not widely known outside Taiwan, and if your cousin had replaced XP, he'd surely have chosen a much better known distro.I don't know much about Linpus (i.e. nothing), but try1. right-click on the desktop and see if you get the option "change desktop background"2.
