Awesome Linux Videos

Feb 11, 2006 8:42AM PST

Linux Edge has some really amazing videos of Compiz (crazy name). I really, REALLLLY cannot wait for this to start hitting some Linux distributions or BSD flavours.

I don't have Linux right now, but that's an easy way to make me install it.

Make Me Forget Windows

Those videos really make me want a new computer and to switch to Linux. I love Linux already, just wish I could make the switch completely. Novell is doing a lot to try to get more and more people to be able to switch...so maybe soon!!!

Ryan duuuuuude,

You have Apple all over your profile and yet you own an Athlon! Yeah, I caught your mention about liking games. Understandable going with the PC on that one.

I'm somewhat intriqued by Linux but not enough of a computing geek to dive into it. But I'm also a Mac user and the search for an alternative OS to run our machines isn't as desperate for us, though I know a few who run linux on their Macs... usually just to show they can.

Every time I look at the Windoze desktop, I feel like a traitor. However, it was easier justifying the money I spent on a windows box than a Mac. Also, this has given me a chance to increase my proficiency in the world of the less fortunate. Silly

Also, yeah, I've had Linux running on a Mac (not my own, a spare work computer) before, pretty much for the same reason you mention.
