The desktop effects of Linux Ubuntu’s Compiz-Fusion is impressive. I love the timer on the screenshot tool! Being a new user, I haven’t tried Beryl or Compiz but I expect that they’re able to do the same on their desktops. I finally got Conky’s temperature gauge working fine thanks to someone in the forum. Instead of using acpitemp I used “Temp $alignr ${i2c 9191-0290 temp 1}C ${i2c 9191-0290 temp 2}C ” to show the temperature. It works great!

So far everything I wanted to work on Linux Ubuntu are working. Only 1 thing left for me to tweak. I still haven’t been able to make divx work on Firefox. When I have a bit more time, I’ll look into that. I’ll also be looking for other nifty tools/programs to add. There’s so much potential in this OS. I’m glad I don’t have to search for cracked versions of software that I want to install. The updates keep coming. Based on what I’ve read on the forum, I will not be needing an anti-virus software nor a firewall. But I’ll look more into that in the future. For now, I’m completely sold on this free product!

    And in fact – when i downloaded the 7.10 (the speed was extremely low!) – it just didn’t work with my video-card. But my video card is normal Nvidia 6600-series.

    What drivers did you use? I have a normal Nvidia card too and it works perfectly fine. :) Feel free to ask for help at UbuntuForums.org
