Kororaa XGL LiveCD
This post comes to you from the Kororaa XGL LiveCD. I have been following XGL for several weeks now, ever since the Novell demo that got everyone talking. Prior to trying this LiveCD, I was just biting my nails in anticipation of SuSE 10.1 being released in mid-April, so that I could get me some of this sweet XGL action. Thanks to the good folks over at the Kororaa Project, I was able to test out XGL a month earlier than I had anticipated. The XGL demo videos hardly do it justice, you really have to try it for yourself to truly appreciate the cool factor.
Once you boot the Kororaa XGL LiveCD, you find yourself on a standard Gnome desktop that has a couple of icons on it. Most notably, an icon called ‘Key Shortcuts’. As you might have guessed this file contains the shortcut keys for the nifty XGL effects. They claim it works on both ATI andNvidia hardware, I only tested it on my Nvidia 6600GT and it worked beautifully. If you have been following XGL like I have and want to give it a shot with out going through the hassle of setting it up on your distro of choice, give the Kororaa XGL LiveCD a shot.
