I tried it in ubuntu and and it has a very nice how to in the ubuntu wikis. XGL is sure can compete with the eyecandy MS Vista offers.
Cheers.

This is neat.
i think this is a gentoo based distro, gentoo's are quite fast, they are nearly a slackware, due to the large amount of time compiling everything (depends on what build your gonna do) used gentoo for a few months and switch debian.. now trying out ubuntu..
i wanna have it a go.. i just got hold of some ubuntu cd's wanna try this one also...
Thanks for the input..
no harm in trying it out.

Because of the hype about the XGL in Linux, I decided to try out
Kororaa (A Linux live CD demonstrating the XGL power/features).
I powered up my computer and boot up Kororaa Live CD ...
WOW!
Without having to try out the XGL features and power, I was stunned by the
speed and responsiveness of the system. I didn't expect a Live CD to
be this fast.
It is even faster than my installed linux distribution.
1. The boot-up process is blazing fast (using Gnome 2.12)
2. All the needed free but proprietary software/drivers are included
(nvidia, etc.)
3. I fired up firefox and the internet connection is already set up
4. Lots of goodies are included except OpenOffice.org
I know it's just intended to showcase the XGL. :-)
Now on to the UI.
IT IS FUN!
1. Your window becomes wobbly when you try to move them;
2. Switching to another desktop rotates a cube.
Try it out and have some fun!
I am going to bring this Live CD with me to show to friends ...
Ciao!
Arys
