Akir - Legacy (2006)

I read this on Theresa's blog, a project called Xgl that takes an X server, throws Gentoo on it, and uses hardware acceleration and a custom windows manager to do some awesome desktop effects.

Makes me wanna throw Gentoo on the lappie right now. Seeing that they did the vid on a X server though, I might have to build a desktop for this. OHH, Priorities, Priorities... What shall I do?

lol, I'm basically stealing the whole post. All props to Theresa. Too bad blogger has no Trackback. Here are a few screen shots. The video at the end is the real kicker though, a real must see.

I watched the video and my jaw dropped a few times.
