WYMIWYG: 3D Desktop! TouchScreen and XGL on Linux!

as mentioned on this article from WYSIWYG, watch this absolutely amazing video showing a Linux desktop as you might have never seen one before.
I just found this other one, nice but may be not as spectacular.

Interested in Linux?

Hello,

Well I have made 2 posts showing everyone some really neat screenshots of Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft.

If you are intersted in trying Linux yourself here are a few tips on getting started!

1. Backup your data, if you are going to dual boot there is a high risk of data loss, you must be prepared to lose data.

2. Be sure your system meets the OS requirements.

Minimum of 128 MB of RAM (if you have less you can download an alternate install CD).

3. Try out the Live CD first. In the regular install CD once you burn it to disk you can put it in and boot from it, using the Live CD environment you can see how your hardware reacts to Kubuntu so you can see how you like it before installing!

4. Have fun, take it easy, you are using a great linux distro free of charge, and if you get good, you can start trying new applications such as Beryl (what i used to change the look around in my screenshots).

If you ever would like help then feel free to e-mail me: justin_1278@hotmail.com

Fun with Linux Issue 2

Hello,

Well I've been playing around with Linux even more and have more screenshots to share with everyone. Below are the links, along with information explaining what each screenshot is.

1. Security: You must enter the admin (a.k.a. Root) password to make any major system changes. -Link

2. Inner Cube: In the last issue, I showed you the desktop cube, well now I'm showing you the desktop cube again, but this time, instead of rotating around it, we are rotating in it! -Link

3. Closing Windows: Well with some major messing around with, I finally was able to get it where when you close Windows, it dissolves in a lot of different multi-colored particles. -Link

4. Blurry Glass: In the last issue, I showed you a screenshot where Kubuntu looked a bit like Windows Vista with a clear glass Windows interface. Well in Windows Vista it isn't a clear glass, its a blurry glass, so I thought I would make it a little blurry. -Link

I really hope you enjoyed looking at these screenshots I made. This is the final issue with screenshots. My next post will have information on how I made Kubuntu look like this, and how you can install Kubuntu and "play around" with it like I did if I caught your interest with these screenshots.

kubuntu

thanks to our friend Justin for posting that one, and looking forward to have more on the topic from him...I'd be ready to give this OS a try, if it was not for the sake of my NTFS partitions. But really, these screen shots are impressive, especially the one with the cube effect.
