A Developer's point of view

"The True Nature Of The Force"

Ubuntu + Gnome + Xgl + Compiz

, , ,

What amazing words! Those projects made me so happy that i wanted to share what i've achieved in my desktop with you... If you said "what?!" when you read the title i'll give a little resume:

Ubuntu: is a Linux distribution, very popular on this days. Mostly, cause its amazing progress with desktop and friendlyness.
GNOME: is a Desktop Enviroment oriented in creating an easy for everyone desktop.
Xgl: is an X server arquitecture layered over your 3D graphics support (OpenGL).
Compiz: is a Compositing Window Manager, which actually do all the fancy work bigsmile.

This is not a How-To get them running. There're plenty of them all over the net, just google a little (A very good manual is here: HowTo). What i've recently found is that there is a lot work going on, and actually a whole (and amazing) comunity around Compiz:

A blog at Blogspot.
And a fast growing Forum.

At the forum, you can found the repositories with the last builds of Compiz:

deb http://xgl.compiz.info/ dapper main
deb-src http://xgl.compiz.info/ dapper main

I strongly recommend you to give them a try, but if you're in doubt... I think this screenshots will get you moving wink...
