Novell and Ximian According to a Novell confidential memo dated June 14, Novell is delaying its next release of both the server and desktop versions of SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 "to address final issues with our new package management, registration, and update system and also fix the remaining blocker defects."

Including Xgl in a serious distro as anything other than an optional expermiental toy during 2006 is bound to end in disaster. Xgl/compiz crawls on quite a few systems, fails to start on many and crashes as often as win95 on most. Last time I tried it, it also multitasked horribly when the CPU was busy.

Novell, please, for once let us have a truly properly tested and stable Linux distro. I had high hopes for Ubuntu 6.06 but alas...

Xgl is more than just a toy, sounds to me you have not tried the latest because alot of issues are gone now. CPU load is minimal and i'd rather have the GPU take the load rather than the CPU.

We're not talking about kiddies playing around with eye candy. This is suppose to be for the enterprise. Xgl is way far away from being stable enough for that. Plus, Xgl is really just a hack.

On graphics cards like nVidia it tends to work OK with some strange problems here and there that need to be tracked down and sorted out. On other graphics cards the quality can vary wildly. It will take some time to make it stable on a widespread basis, if ever.

Must be compiz, use it with the XFCE's internal damage control instead of compiz and it's rock steady.

Xgl/Compiz has never given me any trouble. At all.

I would never have it turned on by default with someone where reputation / first exprience mattered though. Just in case.
