Compiz and Beryl Merge

Perhaps one of the best developments in the Linux GUI world in quite some time, two of the biggest projects that bring eye-candy to Linux are getting together! If you’ve never seen Beryl in action just search YouTube for it, it will blow you away.

And just in case you’re thinking – so what, what kind of an idiot is impressed by the shiny objects? Well, how do you explain Vista and every single Mac user? UI usability is big, and this is a sign that things like Gnome and KDE now get to stand shoulder to shoulder with the others.
