Compiz Fusion - Unbuntu, Lunix or Beryl?

OMG, kornowski is new to Linux
to install anything on linux just go to
System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager (ubuntu)
to enable other repo's which may include Beryl or Compiz open Synaptic and select an option in its menubar: Settings -> Repositories.
Now just click reload and let the repos update.
After that just do a search for beryl or Compiz.
Correct me where am wrong but there's an ubuntu version which comes with Desktops effects by default , i think 7.10 right ? not too sure

about your laptop, i don't think the ram is enough in my opinion
edit : download an ubuntu iso , burn it to disk and boot from it. it's live

lol, Erm, :P Yeah, a little confusing...

So what would I need exactly to run that Compiz thing, Beryl?

Do you have any links to all the things I would need please? I already have Nero so I can burn the ISO :)

Also, do you think the laptop will be Ok?
 
i my personal opinion it (the laptop) will drag
since i just installed ubuntu 7.04 about 15 mins ago check the screen.
i've already put the restricted drivers in use (Nvidia--> go to->system->administration->restricted drivers manager)

if your card is supported you will get effects but not with the styles and colors for this you need bery
i did a saerch for beryl (with updated repo) and am gonna install it now see i mage
 
see it's easy after you've searched for beryl, and started it the emerald icon will appear above on the bar..see image...showing off am i now !!
 
How would I install Beryl, I don't really know what video chip is in the laptop, all I know is that it's a SiS 630?
 
I started a thread on the same topic lol i installed ubuntu because of all the cool animations and now i find out i need beryl.... How do i install it?

I've got the ISO but it's 705MB so it won't fit on a CD, also, my laptop doesn't have a DVD Drive so I can't put it on a DVD...

What do you suggest, something like PowerISO?

Can I run the ISO in Windows that's allready on the laptop?

if you have nero you can try over burn which will allow you to burn that 5 extra megs.
