Who needs Vista?
I’ve been playing around with Gentoo and Beryl, the package management of Gentoo is amazing. I need gaim: emerge gaim gets everything. I need gimp: emerge gimp. I can configure various libraries that can be made with certain software so it does what I need to do. Throw in a nice graphics card (or a 9800 pro) and you have a perfect opportunity for a nice-looking desktop system by following directions. Installing beryl with XEffects (just follow directions). This isn’t for the faint of heart however, it has taken a while to get everything setup properly, but once its set-up its solid as a rock. Check below for the window borders, blurred backgrounds (like vista!), and you see what I mean. There are tons of videos of beryl on youtube. Its simply too amazing for words. And it can only get better!
