* Remember, if you hotlink your background from someone else's site, you do so at your own risk -- the site may go down or the images may be moved at any time, either due to excessive hotlinking or for other, random reasons. If you hotlink from someone who doesn't want you to, they might take all their images down just to spite you, or replace them with something nasty. Copying a background to a free hosting account of your own is always safest. This is not intended to spark a debate about the ethics of hotlinking, just an advisory. :)

* Additions to this list are welcome!
