I don't think the writer realizes what XGL IS even. XGL is a dirty hack that should be avoided unless you use ATI and are forced to use it. For me (nvidia) OpenGL apps work GREAT inside my X session. Same with AIGLX. XGL just sucks and is unstable. His problems are 100% XGL related. Maybe he should do a bit of research before making a fool of himself on the internet.

hm thats never happened with me on Ubuntu. Then again, when I used Suse, I had all kind of troubles with RPMs. Thats why I switched:)
yeah your computer uses.5 kilowatts (ballpark. and thats at full load). multiply that by 24 and you get 12kw*hr. now last I checked, electricity was $.11 per kilowatt hour. so that costs like $1.00/day. are you saying that a pine tree costs 1/520 of a cent =p =p. I think what the article you read said 52,000 on a total;-). anyway I totally agree with you that theres alot more that could be done to save the environment, but it needs to be done quickly =\
