Linux can go further than multiple partitions....for example, Ubuntu can also be installed into windows and then allow you to reboot into Ubuntu...thus having two OS's on one partition.
-
When you run through the installer most distros will do this for you automatically

dont know what that is or how to do it O_O
-
u can, it's called two different partitions

On Ubuntu Feisty: sudo apt-get desktop-effects
Then go into System->Preferences->Desktop Effects menu and turn it on. That's it!

first of all, install gdesklets (if you're on gnome, don't ask me about kde because i don't use it too much).
just "sudo apt-get install gdesklets"
then on gdesklets shell, find "starterbar". it is on toolbar/launchers category.
Is it xgl that is making that window see through? I'm just curious.
Very nice video man

No. Translucency is made by compiz.

Thanks for the reply I researched it a little more. From what I've found, correct me if I'm wrong. openGL is competitor of direct x and XGL is a version of openGL right?

Yes, OpenGL is a competitor of DirectX. But XGL is't a competitor of OpenGL, XGL is an add-on to the X Window System to use OpenGL.
