I couldn’t agree more. I had to suffer using mac at a school I was at recently. Students called it ‘crashintosh’. I’d never seen such a pathetic attempt at desktop and networking. It was down 50% of the time. Each box cost Euros 1850 WITHOUT the monitor. And then one wonders why Jobs sells glorified blueberry flavour iPods at twice the price of a proper mp3 player in an attempt to print money. I’m amazed at anyone who buys crashintosh. They have more money than sense. The term ‘Macbore’ really should get into wikipedia. Have you ever talked to anyone who uses a crashintosh? What a bore. Let’s just get on with the job. Jesus. What a waste of time. Just show them what a $500 box with native nVidia can do with compiz and kiba-dock and they tend to shut the * up. Timewasters.

Cheers, Steve.

Just compiled beryl and compiz-fusion on Slackware v12 and I’ve found the effects, or many of them, to actually be useful as well as gorgeous. So far Beryl is a little easier to use than compiz-fusion but I have high hopes for subsequent releases.
For you guys complaining about fonts in linux there are some excellent “how-to’s” you can find with google, google/linux, or whatever you prefer for search engines. A dreat deal can be accomplished with very simple editing of the xorg.conf file, sometimes even just changing the order so higher resolution fonts load first makes a huge difference. Then there’s the obvious of downloading newer fonts. There is also a great deal of help on IRC channels devoted to font development which is actually a fairly high priority. After a half hour of tweaking you can really get the most out of your compiz-fusion bling.

You will find fusion-icon here:

Make sure you are using compiz-emerald

Hey cyberorg

I just got a few questions about your compiz-fusion build for suse.

why are you not packaging fusion-icon with it?

for some reason also, your emerald-theme-manager build (in my case) is unable to show me any engines or modify current themes. Is there any reason for that? I would like to know.

Thank you for your great work

Regardless of whether one goes with Vista, OS X or Linux. There is something for everyone. That said, OS X Leopard is a more polished Linux/Beryl. The only thing keeping the Linux community from simply taking the best eye candy from MS or Apple is lawsuits. And if anything, most of what you see with OS X is offered in Linux anyway. Spaces for Leopard is simply Workspaces on any Linux distro. If Apple were to offer Leopard and beyond to all PC’s, they might actually have an opportunity to become the most popular and widely used OS, especially since they’re low-balling MS anyway for their own hardware. All Apple OS X is, is simply ahead of a handful of pay-per-use Linux distros and as the open source version of that gets better, that perception will disappear too. Apple has come full circle and is using Intel X86 hardware, all that’s left, is to become a universal Operating system for all hardware lines. If only they’d realize it and accept their own fate.”

That’s how RICH people talk! Ha-ha! He just doesn’t want to learn how to make things work. Leopard is NOT free and you gotta spend a lotta money. And you’re talking about lawsuit? That damned bastard @ micro$ux is so worried about “stealing” copyright issues and stuff and Mac guy are so scared and they make everything their own. Get a LIFE, Jim.

Hello

There is a problem after installing this package “compiz-git-all” . The problem is after typing “compiz –replace ccp &” , this problem appeared “Trying ‘/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1′
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/$LIB/libIndirectGL.so.1′ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
compiz (core) - Fatal: No composite extension
”

how to solve this problem …. because compiz+beryl is a GREAT CHOICE
