But, I've tried running Ubuntu on my friend's computer. Seems not bad. It has no problem with internet. I’m new to Linux. But, I’ve tried running Ubuntu on my friend’s computer. Seems not bad.

I've never been on a Mac, but I hear they're nice. The thing about Linux, is that once you learn your way around, you can have it behave and do anyway you please.

If you're navigating a desktop, you should never have to drop to a command line or it's a poorly designed desktop. I'm not advising against it, just that I try not to if I can help it when using Linux as a desktop.

I looked at a few examples and will probably see if I can get it going when I'm off from work. Why not use the command line? I thought this made doing a lot of things much easier. Thanks Brian.

See if you can do the same. Search for 'beryl' over at YouTube and you'll find tons of cool examples. It goes without any saying if you have any questions or need help with anything, drop me a line.

I haven't tried to do anything with it so far. I'm not familiar with Envy. Actually, I’ve just been reading a little about Beryl. I haven’t tried to do anything with it so far.

You can also use <a href="http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html">Envy</a>. Have you tried <a href="http://beryl-project.org">Beryl</a> yet?
