[06:23] <studio-user659> i'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.
[06:24] <studio-user659> Other than that i'm thinking of installing ubuntu studio on my laptop.  Im trying it out on a live usb.
[06:24] <studio-user659> Im upgrading from VISTA.. lol
[06:26] <cfhowlett> studio-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] <cfhowlett> long story short, download the US .iso, make a USB, reboot your computer to the USB and test for yourself.
[06:27] <studio-user659> How can i try those effects?
[06:28] <cfhowlett> boot up and "try ubuntu" then test
[06:29] <studio-user659> I am

[06:32] <cfhowlett> Xubuntu 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] <cfhowlett> To enable go to: Applications -> Settings -> XFCE Settings Manager
[06:32] <cfhowlett> Then run: Window Manager Tweaks - Compositor (tab) and Enable
[06:32] <cfhowlett> ...and from there play with the settings and fancify your desktop :)
[15:43] <g_santos> Yo, Gustavo from Brazil here. I'm in no way a developer, but I find myself at home with two slipped discs and thought I should try and contribute some.
[15:43] <g_santos> So, how does this work?
[16:31] <krytarik> g_santos: Have a read of  http://ubuntustudio.org/contribute/ , and hop into #ubuntustudio-devel.  Thanks for your interest!
[16:46] <g_santos> Hopping outta here, then.
[16:46] <g_santos> Thanks!
