Got a new Laptop; install Beryl
So this week I got a new laptop. It is a pretty sweet little unit. Anyway it came preinstalled with Vista, which after trying it out, was somewhat cool, but nothing really too mind blowing. My plan was to do a dual boot on this machine, the Vista partition so that I can have a gaming platform and a second partition of Linux for my coding/everything else. I installed Ubuntu on the laptop, which is overly easy and painless. After tweaking things up nicely I decided to try out this package I had seen mentioned around a few times. It is called Beryl. After spending a good part of a morning trying to get it to work I finally got it going, and let me say, WOW. Beryl is simply amazing. It blows Vista out of the water in terms of what it can do, and the potential of it as well. I made a little video of some of the fancy features it has. Check it out here:

I highly suggest doing a youtube search for beryl and you will see some other kickass versions of it. It literally blew my mind when I first got it working. It takes user friendly to a whole new level!
