Well I'd happily go with AIGLX, except that currently it won't work
with nVidia's proprietary driver (something to do with lack of DRI
support IIRC).
Then again, it's become apparent to me just how flexible and modular
these enhancements really are. It is a simple proposition to install
*both* XGL *and* AIGLX, then just switch between them using gdmsetup.
I think the focus of these two companies is different; with Novell
concentrating on the Desktop, and RH being more security oriented, and
pushing newer kernel technologies.

It's horses for courses, but together both companies will push the
boundaries of Linux technology.
