Jazz up openSuSE 10.2 with Compiz Fusion…

 

Whoever tries out GNU\Linux for the first time their reaction is “NICE! Great Desktop and ICON Themes and you can install a whole lot more themes, icons, Login Screens, MAC like Dashboard, Screenlets etc… and its a whole lot easier than in Windows,where in you have to either install a third party software which is paid, or you end up editing the DLL’s.

 

But the Best thing that happened to GNU/Linux Desktop is Compiz Fusion…. You must have seen many videos on You tube displaying the power or Compiz Fusion… it you haven’t check out my blog for the story “What happened to Vista WOW!”

Coming to the main topic of Installing Compiz Fusion in openSUSE 10.2

Well ther are many blogs out there explaining how to setup Compiz Fusion, but I think the best one and that worked for me too was from the openSuSE Community itself. It Gives a Step by Step procedure to setup Compiz Fusion in KDE as well as GNOME. Click openSuSE Community to get the page.

Let me know if that worked for you, and if you need any help just add a comment….
