It was probably Compiz-Fusion or Beryl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_(window_manager) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz Wifi with Linux can either be a breeze or a complete P.I.T.A. It all depends on the wifi card and it's linux compatibility.

20thCenturyBoy New Member Sep 3, 2007 #6 The only catch with moving the mp3 files to Linux is that you'll have to download the codecs yourself most of the time. It's not hard at all though. I've been looking at Symphony OS lately. It looks pretty nice at least in terms of eye candy.

Impulse666 New Member Sep 3, 2007 #7 Ubuntu with Compiz Fusion is probably the most popular (and what I'm using now). And as for the codecs you do have to download them. You just check the box for the codec in the application manager, and click apply. Not a big deal.
