If you need tips for setup eyecandy (or other things), I'll gladly help.
Just a quick tip for me, please! Is it possible / easy to add the wobbly windows to (K)ubuntu? Do I need Aiglx / Xgl / Compiz / Quinnstorm / Beryl / something else, and if so is it easy to add? I'm test-driving Kubuntu Edgy which didn't seem to come with the 3d stuff as standard like Mandriva 2007 does. Any help or a pointer would be great!

 

Easy enough:

if you have nvidia and want also the latest driver: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851

under step 2 go for option 2 because the 9xxx have gone stable.

Hey Foz de Iguacu, right?

Yes! Truly brilliant sights :)

 

 

 

Taking Ubuntu for a spin... still feels weird to be using Gnome.

Do you know anything about getting fonts to look the best under Ubuntu? I've already messed with the subpixel hinting (set it to 'medium'), text is better but I've got the impression it's still worse than some other distros that I used.

New on Linux for about 2 weeks, haven't tried a lot of distros yet....

My first complaint on Linux (when my friends advised me to try it) was that most of the Linux users I know were the type of people which prefered classic menu in windows XP without any eye candy and their Linux looked like made in the 60's :)

They told me you can change it to whatever you like so I gave it a try (Ubuntu is my first try in this case)
