for one it took me like 30 mins to completly configure beryl like i wanted it and it took me about 3 hours to get compiz-fusion working like i wanted it and its still not perfect!
dexonter, i have the 4gb($400) version eee pc. i have unlocked the advanced desktop, but i haven't figured out how to intall the beryl effects. I tried to use the gearlive video and instructions, but it didn't work. PLEASE help me.
Can't you add graphics to the top or bottom of the cube as well as the background ? Can you just add Beryl 3D to the Linux that's pre-installed (as it appears to be mentioned above?)
These little things are pretty impressive. I ordered one and I was planning on putting eeexubuntu on it, but after seeing this, I may just keep xandros.
No it doesn't. It just comes with Xandros and a modified IceWM. eeeXubuntu is just Xubuntu that was modified for the Eee by people in the open source community, Asus had nothing to do with it and doesn't include it with the Eee. Also I would get a new wallpaper that doesn't come from such a shitty OS.
i can't believe people still use beryl these days...
get compiz fusion, it is the same but easier to download

Compiz-fusion is Beryl fused with compiz. although beryl is a WAY cooler name, compiz-fusion is better,

does it still start up in the rapid eeepc fashion? i know that even the xubuntu os is slow to startup, at least 45 seconds.
