According to the following, which I read yesterday:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6ReleaseSummary

,----[ Quote ]
| Better visualisation and eye candy is provided through the compiz window
| manager. Compiz can take advantage of the AIGLX framework which is now
| provided as part of Xorg 7.1 release included in this version of Fedora.
| We have planned to include a graphical method to switch between the
| default Metacity window manager and Compiz.

I suspect it's a new Wiki page. But Fedora received a not-so-flattering
review...

Judge it for yourself. It often seems to me that all the innovation is at
Novell these days. They attend LinuxWorld,, they get XGL out to the public,
they get Xen to work, do suability research and create new launchers for
GNOME and KDE... but I still use Fedora (remotely) and I like it.
