One of the most exciting things about the Ubuntu 10.10 release has been the delivery of the Unity ‘shell’ in Ubuntu Netbook Edition. For the uninitiated, this delivers a very different user experience to that in the main desktop edition.

Beryl will be the standard composite windows manager on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. Here's a little taste of what's to come next April. In the video, Beryl runs on Edgy Eft installed on a Compaq Evo d310, 1.8 GHz, 384 MiB RAM, with a 256-MiB NVidia XFX GeForce 680 video card. Keep in mind that this is a 3 year-old configuration. You won't be able to do that with Windows Vista. …

*Note* previous upload was weird so I uploaded again. This is Ubuntu 8.10 running compiz-fusion and cairo-dock. The graphical glitches and lagging only appear in the video, I do not experience them when using the computer. When the high definition version becomes available I recommend watching that one, since you can’t really see that much in the lower quality version.
