XGL + Compiz

First-hand impressions have me loving this.

First of all, at the very basic, it gives some GUI eye-candy that's on-par (and beyond that of,) Windows XP and Mac OS X.

Secondly, it gives way to have some nice, useful functionality. In the Novell video, they showed what was very much like their own Expose function (which I find even better than Alt+tab,) and I think we could see even more useful things like that.

I'd love to try it, but I a) don't have the time to yet, b) would have to clear out some space on my computer to get a Linux partition on it and c) the other computer I would try it with I fear would be far too underpowered for it (700MHz, 128MB RAM, NVidia TNT2.) I even think my own computer would be underpowered, but I'm not nearly as worried about it not working.

Maybe if I work enough over the summer and can get a laptop, I'll get Ubuntu on it and try this bugger out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
