I keep seeing all this cool stuff with beryl. But I still think fluxbox has more potential. Not to mention being a lot lighter.

Feisty Fawn( next Ubuntu release ) will include the proprietary drivers but they will be disabled by default.... Personally I hated the proprietary ATI drivers my beryl worked for a couple of day then started crashing everytime i tried to run it, and if wanted to run beryl the 3d acceleration was disabled so it was slow my screensaver was even slower.... ATI proprietary drivers suck really bad... If you really want to use the proprietary drivers on your graphic card and use beryl stick to Nvidia.

You CAN play windows games on Linux. It's called Cedega (previously WineX.)

anotheraddict, you said "Now I'm impressed with the graphic abilities that were used in this clip, specially when compared directly with Vista. now my question is this : Vista does all that fancy smanshy stuff out of the box... how many hours upon hours would I have to work to get Ubuntu to do the same? most likely quite a bit of time I'm guessing."
The answer is about 5 minutes. Just go to wiki.beryl-project.org, follow the directions (copy and paste like 10 things), and it's done. It's really easy, and it uses a lot less system resources than Vista. It runs fine on my 8mb shared video memory Intel graphics, but Vista on this same computer was terrible. The screensavers couldn't even work right because it wanted 128mb dedicated.

Ayle, I'm running Feisty. They aren't putting in the other drivers. The same binary ones are available in the extra repos as always, though. People with X-breakage are the ones who use drivers that aren't supported by the Ubuntu devs and in linux-restricted-modules (that's why they have to reinstall them every time there's a new kernel). They've put off "composite by default" until next time, at which point there will be Xorg 7.3 which is being called "bulletproof X" in that instead of dying, it'll go to a low-res, low-depth screen and have a configuration GUI you can use if you're afraid to touch xorg.conf that way if you DO use those other drivers, you're alright. Compiz is installed by default (but not enabled) on Feisty, though.

Finally, an operating system that can send my icons flying all over the screen just to put them in a different order. Just what I always wanted!

Seriously though, Windows does everything I want when I want it to and is compatible with everything I have straight out of the box. With Vista, I don't even have to install drivers (except audio)!

Windows Vista Ultimate installed on my PC in under 25 minutes. Can Linux do that?
