well different linux distro's serve different purposes to people. so i don't think that's a fair comment...

Doesn't Fedora Core 6 "Zod" have XGL/Compiz installed by default?

And as of what I have read Red Hat people have a lot behind developing GNOME DE.

@Prakash, There are some loyal Fedora users also. This is for them.
@aryayush, Yes, Fedora 6 comes with XGL & AIGLX. But Beryl effects are superior
to that XGL & AIGLX. Even though Beryl is a fork of XGL!!

Beryl is a fork of Compiz and not XGL.

@Eddie, Thanks for the correction. I read their website http://www.beryl-project.org/
And you are right.

They do, but you will need to have accelerated graphics drivers, the default graphics drivers are not... well normally.

Anyone knows what is the MINIMUM hardware requirement for Beryl, AIGLX etc...Is there someone who is running Beryl on his 5 year old system??? I have an INTEL i810 series MoBo with onboard graphic and 256 MB SDRAM. Will it run on my system???

[mehulved]

Subratabera forget about XGL. AIGLX maybe but still not worth the try. 256 is low enough to just about run a full fledged DE.
IMO, at 256MB of RAM you shouldn't run anything over XFCE.

[subratabera]

But KDE & Gnome both are working fine on my system...
