There have been several changes with the Compiz setup in openSUSE 11.0, including both exciting and new features in Compiz Fusion, and extra developments behind-the-scenes which make running and managing Compiz easier. Today we will be taking a look at these, and we’ll be catching up with Dennis ‘onestone’ Kasprzyk, a Compiz Fusion core developer and openSUSE user, to find out more.

This document describes how to enable and configure Compiz Fusion on a Mandriva One 2008.1 Spring GNOME desktop with an NVIDIA graphics card.

Compiz-Check is a script to test if Compiz is able to run on your system/setup and if not, it will tell you the reason why.

The following tutorial covers the process of easily installing the Pendrivelinux remix (Based purely on Debian) to a USB flash pen drive using Windows. Due to the overly simplified flash drive installation process, this tutorial is especially tailored for current Windows users being freshly introduced to Linux. However, even the seasoned Linux user "who also owns a Windows box" and would like to quickly try out Linux on a USB device should find this tutorial useful.
