Call me kooky

So I finaly got around to installing ubuntu 7.10, which made a big difference.  Instead of having to muck around getting compiz/beryl installed I just clicked a few times.  Hell, ubuntu even told me I needed the nvidia binary drivers to make the most of my hardware.  A very nice touch.

I haven’t yet figured out how to get the dashboard/widgets working yet, but most of the compiz eye candy is working just dandy, and fast, on this setup.  So fast, I had to slow the effects down so I could see them happening!

Much tweaking still to be done.  It picked up my soundcard with out any help, but it doesn’t like the raid array which I fully expected.  Also, the default movie player kinda sucks.  Lots of flickering when the mouse is moved.  Not sure if that’s compiz, or just the player.
