Could Linux Use Some Bells and Whistles?
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Linux just too quiet to attract mainstream
| users who are used to the siren songs of
| bells and whistles? Or do Linux bells and
| whistles run on a frequency Windows users
| can't hear? "One person's 'bells and
| whistles' are another person's 'this is too
| different for me' impediment," suggested
| Slashdot blogger Barbara Hudson. For example,
| "the desktop cube just blows [Windows users]
| away."

Ubuntu Lucid To Get Windows Aero Style Look Thanks To Enhanced GTK+
,----[ Quote ]
| Lucid may not be getting a new GTK theme but it will still be
| getting an entirely new look.
|
| Ubuntuâs Ayatana team (most famed for creating those awesome ânewâ
| notification balloons that came in Jaunty) are currently testing a
| super-duper enhanced version of GTK+ that adds RGBA support (think
| Windows Aero) and client side window decoration.

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!
