Why not link directly to the story?

... already think I am crazy. Think of the uproar when I tell them I playing with the gusty gibbon.

Okay. I hope I'll find the USABLE .iso when it will come out, the one that Just Works, OOTB, Zero Conf', includes the nVidia driver, mp3 player (MAD, please, lest I burn mine ears), support for all video formats in all the players, configured right - that is, no "-vo not valid" in mplayer or "can't load wmdmod.dll" in xine.

The day when Ubuntu will be THAT easy then it will be ready for the desktop.

Re:wtf is composite?

I use Beryl (SVN version!) on my main desktop every day. I used to be skeptic like you, but after trying it, I'd never go back.

Wobbly windows are pure useless eye candy, but transparency (colour-specific transparency is in development,I think), expose-like and wall plugins are really useful. Rain and wobbly are just technology showcases -I think that we'll see useful applications of Beryl/Compiz soon.

did the OP even read the article?

composite by default? Mark Shuttleworth never said that. He actually said he doesn't want to because it hasn't worked out twice already. The more I read slashdot the more I realize how dumb [almost] everyone here really is.
