Compiz anyone?
In these days, there’s something that attracted my attention: Compiz.
We have been a Beryl-distro since the famous fork and we enjoyed being called that way just because, Beryl still rocks. Why? Even if Compiz has always held the stability crown, Beryl was distributors’ friendly. It is so easy to integrate it on the system, mostly because of its automagic. But anyway, after spending several hours to try to implement it in the best way, I have finally published desktop-acceleration-helpers 3.0, our own compiz and compiz-extra ebuilds (0.5.0-r1)! And about today? maybe ext4

I’m glad to see you post something about this. I’ve really always had problems with stability in beryl, whether it be on Sabayon or my Gentoo machine that I’ve had for years. Beryl seems to work great for a period of time, and randomly locks up the computer. The only solution is to remote in and kill beryl or just reset the computer.
I’ve never tried out compiz before, but I’d be happy with anything that is stable. As it is, right now I just leave beryl off unless I want to show someone the pretty effects, and then I turn it off again.
Great news, will this new feature set be in SL 3.4?
