The core of compiz is installed by default on Ubuntu but to get cool effects you have to install some extra plugins. I also play a bit with compiz-fusion, the 3D desktop manager (see HERE and HERE for some madnesses with compiz). Then you can quickly screen-capture and save the image. But Ubuntu goes further because it automatically opens a screenshot utility with the screen capture in. Like under Windows, just hit the print screen key or ATL+PrtScn (for the active window) to capture the screen. The network has been detected without problem and even my shared folder on my Win7 station is visible from Ubuntu. That’s what I did for NVIDIA drivers (R256.53), glxinfo, g++, freeglut, or for filezilla.

Need something? Just type sudo apt-get install something and you’re ok. I think that the powerful apt-get command is one of the success keys of Ubuntu. I rediscover the joy and power of command line and oddly I feel like at home. I don’t know why, but I begin to appreciate Linux maybe (certainly…) thanks to this Ubuntu distro. Today, I must admit that things have seriously changed and distributions like Ubuntu are real gems of OS.

I coded some small programs many many years ago (1996… ouch!) when the text mode was the default interface and you had to type startx or something like this to launch a graphical interface that often didn’t start because the graphics card was not supported or because of another mysterious error. To be honest, I’m a total newbie with Linux. Three days ago I installed the latest version of Ubuntu (10.10 RC) on a dedicated PC (Core 2 Duo E8400 + GeForce GTX 260) to test it. The benchmark offers several options allowing the user to tweak the rendering: fullscreen/windowed mode, MSAA selection, window size, duration.UPDATE: FurMark is now available under Linux: GpuTest – Cross-platform GPU stress test and OpenGL benchmark. FurMark OpenGL benchmark test will accurately measure the graphics card's performance using Fur rendering algorithms.įur rendering is specially adapted to overheat the GPU, and that's why it is also a perfect stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.
