Five Best Virtual-Desktop Managers

,----[ Quote ]
| If you like your virtual-desktop managers to come with some flair and eye 
| candy, Compiz is definitely worth a look. Linux users who just want simple 
| workspace switching might be better served by Gnome Workspaces, but if 
| you're on a rig with a nice graphics cardâand you want to live it up with 
| fancy graphic-intensive transitions between virtual desktopsâCompiz's more 
| advanced effects are pretty nifty. Compiz comes with a core of plug-ins that 
| cover all sorts of 3D effects which can be further supplemented by using 
| Compiz Fusion, a version of Compiz that sports additional plug-ins and 
| enhanced graphics.

Compiz Running With Mesa On R600/700 GPUs

,----[ Quote ]
| Just about three weeks ago the AMD developers working on the open-source ATI
| drivers had reached the milestone in their open-source 3D support for the
| R600/700 GPUs of having glxgears running on these two latest generations of
| ATI graphics processors. glxgears running itself isn't much, but it's an
| important step. Last night, AMD's Alex Deucher is now reporting a new
| milestone and one that is certainly interesting for a large number of users,
| that is Compiz is running!
