With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. falko Thu, 07 Jul 2011 11:44:21 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-on-a-fedora-16-gnome-classic-desktop-nvidia-geforce-8100 This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz on a Fedora 16 GNOME classic desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8100 here). With Compiz you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. I will use the free nouveau driver in this tutorial instead of the proprietary NVIDIA driver. nouveau is an accelerated Open Source driver for NVIDIA cards that comes with experimental 3D support on Fedora 16 - on my test system 3D support was working without any problems. falko Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:57:47 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-on-linux-mint-12-gnome-12 This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz on a Linux Mint 12 Lisa desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 8200 here). With Compiz you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop. Compiz is not supported on GNOME 3 yet, that's why this how-to is applicable only for the classic GNOME desktop. falko Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:57:43 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop This guide explains how you can enable a remote desktop on an Ubuntu desktop so that you can access and control it remotely. This makes sense for example if you have customers that are not very tech-savvy. If they have a problem, you can log in to their desktops without the need to drive to their location. I will also show how to access the remote Ubuntu desktop from a Windows XP client and an Ubuntu client. falko Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:13:00 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-make-an-ubuntu-10.04-desktop-resemble-a-mac-with-elementary-docky-and-gloobus-preview This article shows how you can change the appearance of your Ubuntu 10.04 desktop so that it resembles a Mac.

Why not have the system start these applications for you automatically?

These shell extensions give GNOME 3 the look and feel of GNOME 2. For those who prefer GNOME 2 this tutorial shows how to install Mate from the Linux Mint repositories on Ubuntu 11.10. Mate is a GNOME 2 fork. falko Thu, 08 Dec 2011 10:43:09 GMT
