Is that it, How do I do a new line?
You can do it that way, but compiz fusion is already installed. All you need is just the manager to enable the "advanced effects".
Go to the terminal and type
Code:
sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager
This requires an active internet connection.

And about your question earlier, you do not need a crossover cable, just a normal ethernet cable will work. Plug it into your other computer, then on your windows computer right click the active connection (the connections with internet) and share it. I dont remember what tab it is under exactly, but youll find it it a few. Then restart and you should now have internet on the xubuntu computer from the windows computer.

EDIT: O and a new line simply means press enter in the terminal.
