Fedora

Sometimes I install linux on one of my computers to test out some programs like Compiz Fusion,
But I install Ubuntu, only because its easy to install things with, however yesterday I tried Fedora 7, and I must say its a hell of a lot better than Ubuntu.

One of the best things is the colors, its much nicer than that shit colored Ubuntu is, the default wallpaper is cool,
And its just as easy, if not easier than Ubuntu.

After setting it up and installing the updates I install Compiz Fusion, and Fedora + Compiz Fusion = Sweet Desktop.

If and when I stop using windows, I wont be going to Ubuntu, I’ll be going to Fedora.

Coding, Linux and Compiz Fusion

So I installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my other computer, again.. and setup Compiz Fusion, a desktop effects app for Linux.

I have to say, having it setup with a Cube desktop kinda saved time writing code then previewing it in a browser, what I mean is I would write the code then ctrl+alt+left-arrow to the next side of the cube and hit ctrl+r to refresh the page in Firefox, not much different to alt+tab but when you have a few other apps running it saves a few seconds each time.

It’s pretty damn sweet, heres a screenshot.
