Compiz

The XGL Linux Desktop

| |

XGL/Compiz has turned the graphical desktop of Linux into something that rivals even the latest version of Mac OS X. Check out this video of Linux running on a dual monitor system with XGL/Compiz.

I belive that SUSE 10.1 has XGL/Compiz included by default. You can download it for free here.

Take a look at what the next generation of Linux desktop looks like on this Linux video.

It uses Compiz and XGL to create a desktop interface that rivals or surpasses the slick look of Mac OS X. Notice the special effects when moving the windows around, and especially the desktop-switching feature, where you can switch between four virtual desktops by spinning them around like they are faces on a cube.

If you want to take Compiz/XGL for a trial run on your own computer you can try the Kororaa live CD.
