What is XGL? A new version of xorg ? Im now running Hardy, (Ubuntu 8.04), with compiz-fusion, and it looks just like yours. But I lack a bit of performance, during multitasking with compiz. I know this is related to hardware, but is it related to the lack of gpu resource ? My specs: 1.6ghz sempron,768mb 133mhz ram, 7300gt nvidia clock speeds 333em/350gpu, though I can overclock to a 400mhz both, with no success in getting the lacked performance

What video card do you use?

rlinfinity? It's time to dig you a new a**hole! Again it's Open Source Powered OpenGL that is making a Monkey Boy out of both you and Steve Balmer!Khronos Group (in charge of OpenGL API's) has gone beyond DX10's wildest dreams. Because not only does it run on more Hardware, it's now written in part by the people that make that hardware. Including: IBM, Intel, Nvidia, AMD/ATI, Nokia, Freescale, etc and is about to OWN the entire Next Generation of Mobile Devices w/ Google Android & GAMES! ;)

Unix for Scientific WHAT? LOLz Over half the Super Computers in the World run on some form of Linux. Linux owns over 90% of the HPC (High Performance Computing) Cluster Market. Including Millions of PS3 Gamers running Linux for over a Petaflop in FOLDING@HOME. Our own Government took delivery of Road Runner. A Hybrid Super Computer Topping a Petaflop by itself. Mercury Computers is the World Leader in Medical, Scientific, Visualization and Research running WHAT? Linux! Vista DX10 the Leader?

But that's where the similarities end!SCO has not touched or revised the Unix kernel since they acquired it from Novell. It still only runs on select hardware. Whereas Linux is still the most versatile and widely distributed OS (across multiple platforms) in the World!Being "Open Source" has it's advantages. Like having the NSA code the Kernel with "Secure Linux" features. Meanwhile Unix is on Life Support and SCO just lost $Millions to Novell in court, with no new customers in ages! P-2

@rlinfinity You almost have it right. But here's how Unix and Linux are really related. The Kernel they both run on, may be very close and even the some of same programs can run on them, because they use the same basic commands. It is after all a CLONE!In fact they both use X-Windows (right now at least) as their graphical server. The actual Graphical User Interface (GUI), can be many of the same ones as well!That would include KDE, Gnome and most of the rest of them. Part-1

Yes! So I've been reading lately! Looks like my laptop could handle it! I'm so eager to try it! Thanks, lads!

actually COmpiz fusion compiz beryl whatever 3D linux desktop he's using all of them are quiet light i can run most of those effects a bit slower but still very functionable on my Laptop with Intel Gma X3100 GPU 144MB of shared Vram definitely not a high end GPu at all and it's even blacklisted on Compiz fusion but still runs suprisingly well :D with pretty much any linux distro u really don't need a very powerful computer at all what's the specs of your laptop?
