Due to the fact I can’t use gentoo (yet?) at uni due to use of certain, proprietary, protocols.

I have been running Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) Development, and to show support (it is better than any RPM based system) I have added the countdown to my blog.

I’ve been using compiz-fusion for a couple of weeks now, for those of you that don’t know it is the the compiz-extras/Beryl merge. It isn’t ready for release quite yet but I have it built from the git repos using the xeffects gentoo overlay (see http://gentoo-xeffects.org/). I’ll leave you with these images of various new things.

Started playing around with gentoo, after the difficult task of resizing the ‘buntu partition I did the basic install, mostly things went well. So I now have a working system (still a few problems to iron out) and I still have a lot to install.
