"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."

I'm a linux guy too, but I really would like to see a unix variant become desktop ready and still have the tracks set by a single corporation. Not saying it would be better than linux, but it would be a good thing nonetheless.
And I don't mean Mac OS X, as those are too expensive here in Brazil.
Unfortunately, from what I heard and read, OpenSolaris still has a long long way to go. Let's see how it ends.
I just would love if Sun could come up with a great system with a nice standard UI and solid release based version of libraries, so developers would have a still target if they wanted to develop for an Open Unix Variant in Desktop.
