Re: Is there in CentOS 5 Compiz?

[happymaster23 <happymaster23@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to buy Eee PC S101 (1,6 GHz Atom, 1 GB RAM, ...), but these specs are same on most of netbooks. You can find some videos of Compiz on Eee PC 701 at youtube.com which works flawlessly, so I am convinced, that on next generation Eee PCs (901, S101) there will be no problems even if S101 have bigger resolution (800*480 vs. 1024*600). 


Thank for replies

CentOS is a "more secure" RHEL, I'm not at all sure where you got "better HW support"... 

By the way, you can always add a repository that has Compiz and still use CentOS.

What kind of Netbook are you running?

That being said, I am curious to hear how compiz goes.

Thank you for reply,

but Compiz can be easily switched off when you are on battery and the GMA950 have enough power to handle it on 1024*600 resolution. This is no problem. I like CentOS because of its stability (and I am using it on servers), but I don´t know how it will appear on desktop. Yes, CentOS is enterprise operating system and Fedora is multimedia minded, but I think that CentOS is better OS with much better HW support (isn´t it?) and this multimedia features can be easily added.

I don´t know which one choose :(

Compiz is pretty resource intensive.  As a result it will also use your power/(unit time) this might not be the best desktop environment for a netbook.  Assuming it will even play well with the netbook's video card.

Good luck,

Hi all,

I have one maybe stupid question - is there in CentOS 5 packages of Compiz Fusion? I am deciding between Fedora and CentOS to install it to my netbook and this is one of most important features that I want.

Thank for replies
