Debian Gnome + Beryl "3D-Desktop"

Debian GNU/Linux with Gnome Desktop running Beryl/AIGLX for 3D desktop effects. Debian version was "etch" ("testing" at that time).

System:
AMD64 3500+, 1024 DDR2-400, Geforce 6600GT
(but it runs on very old machines, try it out)

You can get all themes, styles, icons etc. on gnome-look dot org. The dockbar at the top is part of "gDesklets" (available on official repositories).

On gnome-look dot org, search for...
"dragon" (wallpaper)
"glassy" (icon set)
"dark" (color theme, I don't remeber the exact name)

You can install everything with the default gnome theme manager.

There are a lot of users posting "this is ubuntu" - it's not! The menu icon was part of the default ubuntu icon set I installed before (the new "glassy" icon set does not replace the menu button).

WTF is this? Is this desktop for work? I seems like cartoon film...

I looks pretty but, COMPLETELY unused, useless etc.

1.xterm

2.screen

4.vim

enybody need something else? :)

[germanize83]

this video was made for demonstration, I do not use those effects (beside the fact, that the video is more than 3yrs old - back then these visuals were stunning).

anyway, I wonder how to wrote this comment using xterm, screen and vim... .P (and please stop those elite-linux-everything-else-is­-bullshit posts)

@germanize83

So, If you don't use these effects, why do you admire it? "artistry for artistry"?

Such complicated desktops don't add new things for communication between human and maschines and it could be very frustrated.

Like I said, when i recorded the video, operating systems look like windows xp. I am a software engineer, I spend most of my time in front of the screen, bit of nice looking UI is not that bad.

Today (4 years later) these effects are nothing special, i do not "admire" them, i do not use theme, but its still nice to see linux doing some magic while windows was lokking like good old dosshell :P

Oh God, the people who go crazy over Linux are nooby Linux users. Only true warriros like me who have used Unix-like os's like freebsd, Linux, know them actually, and don't go screaming at Windows users. Because both are good at different things. Saying one is better than the other is just wrong. Of course Unix-like users are usually much smarter, if they continuously use it for years, not fucking 1 week to one month.
