They have yet to sort of graphics acceleration that takes advantage of the
Cell. That aspect of hardware support isn't ready, but I don't think it's in
its infancy either. Then, given that the next Ubuntu (Fiesty Faun 7.04) will
have Beryl/XML 'out of the box', including binary drivers of course, you've
got something on your hands! Package management with Synaptic, i.e.
tick-and-go. *smile*
Kids love eye candy. Some adult love eye candy, too. I haven't come across
Enlightenment with XGL though...
Best wishes,
Roy
