My intentions here are to show how the incoming Ubuntu Hoary Hedgedog will be, with not that much "eye-candy-look" but rather how well are things running :-)

- my system:
- ASUS P800(fsb 800) SE Intel 865PE chipset
- Pentium 4 2.4GHZ at 2.88 GHZ
- 1 GB of DDR 333mhz RAM ( running at 266mhz for overcloking balance )
- ASUS NVidia FX 5200 128mb AGP graphics card

- Primary ide ( maxtor 60 GB master)
- Primary ide ( Western Digital 80 GB slave )
- LG 8x DVD RAM CD(24x)/DVD(4x) burner
- TTX VGA Monitor that can do 1920x1440@60hz

Xorg 6.8.1 nvidia-glx 6629 @ 1600x1200
XDamage not working good yet
xcompmgr working great and fast on nvidia for shadows and fading- no apparent slowdown :-)

OSes:
- WindowXP home edition (sp2 french )
- WindowXP professional (sp1 french )
- Ubuntu linux Hoary Array-cd #4
Others:
XAMPP for linux 1.4-11( see http://www.apachefriends.org)

My desktop shows nicely integrated notify icons ( Klipper and kopete )
