How to Install Compiz Fusion in Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn →
Linux desktop effects have come a long way. Over time we’ve seen different implementations like compiz & beryl. These 2 projects have lead a life of their own but have now been merged back together again in a new project called: compiz-fusion. Compiz-fusion has got some awesome eye candy effects, but it’s still a little bit tricky to get it to work though.

NBA Draft is tonight
People have been talking about Oden and Durant on and on and on.
Well for me that isn’t my concern. My concern is that the Phoenix Suns (best and most entertaining team in my opinion) don’t throw away Amare Stoudamire(STAT) or Shawn Marion (The Matrix). They are solid players and this team has what its got to be a major contender and a winner of the world series.
