"If you're an OpenSolaris x86 user and are using a NVIDIA graphics card with NVIDIA's binary Solaris drivers, you can now enjoy Compiz on your desktop. Erwann Chenede has produced packages of Compiz 0.5.0 for OpenSolaris x86. In fact, to ease the process he has even written an OpenSolaris install script for Compiz. More information (download links) is available from Erwann's Sun Blog."

> OpenSolaris is not for the servers only anymore. You can run it on your desktop as well.
Yeah, I tried. There are still problems with it. That is why I am so happy that Sun hired Ian Murdock and I hope they incorporate dpkg into their system to make management and configuration easier. Solaris needs to offer more flexibility for users, just like most Linux distros do. Now it is big, coherent environment, where it is hard to remove anything... and it is similar to Windows in this area. Personally, I prefer Linux's flexibility.
