studio-user659i'm new to linux.  My friend has a nice linux box setup.... Dont know which distro....  But he has fire, water effects that come from his cursor and stuff.  Is that stuff possible in Ubuntu Studio.06:23
studio-user659Other than that i'm thinking of installing ubuntu studio on my laptop.  Im trying it out on a live usb.06:24
studio-user659Im upgrading from VISTA.. lol06:24
cfhowlettstudio-user659, possible, yes.  advisable?  probably not.  US is built on top of xubuntu.  Xubuntu is optimized for older and lower spec hardware.  sounds like your set up.06:26
cfhowlettlong story short, download the US .iso, make a USB, reboot your computer to the USB and test for yourself.06:26
studio-user659How can i try those effects?06:27
cfhowlettboot up and "try ubuntu" then test06:28

cfhowlettXubuntu doesn't come with Compiz so no 3D effects out of the box, but turning on the Composite feature gives you many effects like transparency and shadows plus it allows you to use 3D programs like Docky...06:32
cfhowlettTo enable go to: Applications -> Settings -> XFCE Settings Manager06:32
cfhowlettThen run: Window Manager Tweaks - Compositor (tab) and Enable06:32
cfhowlett...and from there play with the settings and fancify your desktop :)06:32
