Beryl and me

So after editing both my xorg.conf file and the system BIOS about fifty times over I finally fixed my stupid graphics card setup, and nVidia driver. This means that I can finally use Beryl with Ubuntu. The funny thing is that with the settings turned up all the way (which I don't) it looks better than Windows Vista. Here are some screenshots of my current set up.

Yay for full window transperancy!

Some windows which I don't want to be transperant (such as graphics applications) I leave opaque.

Beryl's Alt-Tab gives a preview of the window you are switching to.

Mac users try to deny this fact, but Linux has the cool application switcher also.

And I'll try and get some screenshots of the very cool desktop cube soon. Later today I'l post some other stuff. 

By the way, I found this quote to be awesome. Some of you may have already seen it.

"America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week."
