war journal 009 - xgl

Kororaa XGL live CD that demonstrates Xorg7 features can only be described as uber-wow!

i got the torrent from above, burned it (400+mb) then popped it into my centrino laptop. sadly, a kernel panic happened. don't know why. anyway, i popped it into a dell precision 340, pentium4 512mb machine with 32mb nvidia video card. and oh wow! wish i could have screenshots of that thing.

transparent window borders. workspace switching was supersmooth. even the animation of the windows and the border shading. i'll be studying how to migrate my gentoo64 at home to xorg7--- if kororaa is a sign of things to come, it is well worth it!

success!!!!

everything works now.

i can browse all the sites. i did some minor kernel tweeking. and some updates. and a reboot to gentoo-linux and here we are. all systems are operating normally. i can now get podcasts on my iTunes over at this imac.

:D
