Finally Feb 8 2006

Looks like there might finally be a decent improvement to the graphics capabilities for Linux desktops. I was following this, and Luminocity (an advanced 3D spinoff testbed from Metacity), however it looks Novell are ready to drop Xgl now, as they contribute the core code, and a composite window manager that should provide some really decent effects on the desktop. I’m about to set up a separate machine (my old box before I upgraded) as a Linux desktop, so I’m hoping to give it a whirl. Who needs Vista eh?
