RE: gutsy gibbon
If you have an ATI GPU don't bother downloading it (just for compiz at least).
Just returned at Vista. I was on Ubuntu trying to install the drivers for my ATI X1950 Pro GPU, but it is a pain in the butt. I managed to somehow install some kind of an ATI driver but it could only make the resolution go higher than 1024x768. Compiz fusion wouldn't work and it looked like there was no 3D acceleration (some of the screensavers where lagging).
I could be doing something wrong though...
If you have an nVidia GPU though go get it. Installing the nVidia drivers was very easy: There is a program called "Envy" that automatically installs the drivers for you (it also does this for the ATI drivers, but I couldn't get it to work with CF).
CF was running smoothly on my 7600GT.
Also, since I'm a linux n00b, can anyone tell me what's the difference between Gutsy Gibbon and Feisty Fawn?
