I instal my first linux distribution last week. Mostly because I mess up my Win XP for a while and I decided that having a backup OS on my D/ drive. Is not such a bad idea after all. Even if I had no idea on what I was getting into the reason I did it anyway was that we got so many tutorial on how make the transition. Now if only I could get my kubuntu OS to start reading what on my C/drive.

Kubuntu should be able to read your Windows partition by default. It's only tricky the other way around. For that you will need third party software like "explore2fs", for example.

Hey David, thx for the comment! As soon as I got some free time, I will make another vid with all the beryl effects. This one was meant to be like a commercial for Linux...also, I was playing around with the screencap proggy. (First time I used it)

very nice video... i have a few questions though

i was wondering if you could put a video up of how to download/install ubuntu onto a windows computer. then how to install windows xp as second OS and install wine to use windows apps on ubuntu haha... i know it might sound a lot but i'd love that type of video :)

Hey how do you do the cube effect?

Would have been nice to see some more extensive effects, although your text screens make this video the most informative XGL/Beryl video I've seen yet!
