Bwana McCall shows us Beryl on Ubuntu
Beryl, the cutting-edge windowing system, has some really neat effects and ways of managing your system’s windows. Some of the features seem to copy off of other popular operating systems, but most of these new features are definitely exclusive to Beryl.
Viddler user Bwana McCall (bwana) shows us Beryl SVN on Ubuntu 6.2 w/ Desktop Wall which is the very latest build of Beryl.
Some of these window effects are really cool and it looks like the entire windowing system is written well enough to run even on older systems. Thanks for showing us Bwana.

since76: It probably isn’t as hard to “check out” as you might think. Send a message to bjtitus or bwana and maybe they can help you out.
The thing that intrigues me the most about Beryl is its apparent use of minimal resources. It seems to do an extremely good job at using just about any system. I’d like to see this resource usage trickle into other operating systems.
