compiz on netbook

I'm taking a break from the frustration of video stuff by fiddling around with my fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix on my Acer Aspire One netbook.

I was thinking that the windowing looked a bit choppy and i was wondering i could switch to compiz for some nice smoothing out of the graphical interface. Turns out you can. Here's how i did it...

In the terminal:

apt-get install compiz

apt-get install simple-ccsm

and then you can do the configuration under system settings -> compizconfig settings manager

To toggle between compiz and metacity(default) in terminal:

compiz --replace &
metacity --replace &

yay! wobbly windows!
