Compiz Fusion for fun and profit

Yo!  I just got done spending several hours playing with Compiz Fusion.  Wow.  I mean, WOW!  I was looking for something to show off my GeForce 8400 GS card in Linux, and, man, did I find it.  I have played with Compiz before - while I was running video off of my integrated intel i810 on my mobo.  No joy.  But on this nvidia, it is a beast.

You can get sucked into the tweakability so easy.  I honestly fiddled with sliders and plugins for several hours.  I finally settled for the pentagonal "cube", and pretty much default everything else.  Makes it speedy, yet still impressive.

There are lots of addons - a screensaver called atlantis that can be incorporated into the volume made by the desktops sounds the coolest.  Maybe my next project.
