Ok, I go on beryl site, download the folder for aquamarine, all good, then i click on the configure file, not opening anything, i check in the INSTALL text and it goes on with some complicating coding i gotta do, and for a Ubuntu noob it's chinese.

If anyone can tell me a version of beryl they installed and hwo they got to putting it on there computer

Beryl is old news men, i suggest you look for compiz-fusion in your repositories (Package manager)
but you can visit the ubuntu link HERE
keep this in mind

scratching the brain.....

i think it's located in SYSTEM-->ADMINISTRATION-->SYNAPTIC PACKAGE MANAGER
you use it to install software on ubuntu (or linux)

sometimes you need to reload to get new updated/new software , for that you need to go to SETTINGS-->REPOSITORIES (still scratching brain, hair falls off) simply enable the unticked repos ;)

O yes, beautifully at that. I can run it on a mx440 :p

O btw, don't use beryl! It's outdated! Use compiz fusion and in ubuntu gutsy *aka ubuntu 7.10* (latest version of ubuntu btw) it comes preinstalled. Just go to System>>Preference>>Appearance. I can't remember what tab it is under, but just look around for a second and youll see it.
