[General] Beryl on Ubunto (Microsoft's Aero Vs Ubuntu's Beyrl)

[Abdulaziz AL-Asfour]

Salamu Alaykom,

Thanks for the information. I decided to give Beryl a try.... I followed
this doc:

http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_AIGLX

It was easy and straight forward.

I got an Intel built-in VGA (on a laptop) and still got the amazing visual
effects and desktop experience with very acceptable performance. I suggest
everyone to give it a shot.

My Laptop specs: 1.73Ghz / 1.5 GB RAM

"Windows Aero" is nothing compared to "Beryl" !  Beryl is much lighter,
faster, and it has more effects.

Here is an article about Areo Vs Beryl:

root at ubuntu:~# lspci | grep -i vga

Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
