The instructor wrote across her paper, "marked down because Linux is a nonexistent system". The instructor thought she had meant to write the report about Unix and got the name wrong!
Actually, after the temperature rises much above 37 degrees C (your body temperature) you will want to wear more clothes. That will insulate you from the heat outside your body better.
Allright, I hope you're willing to take responsibility for this (;-) ) since I just made a config that I can only hope to see working on my box and am compiling it right now...
Well, there is XDirectFB which, as far as I can see, does at least some of the things you described. Each window is an OpenGL texture whose opacity can be easily modified (creating a very cool alpha transparency effect and presumably using a whole lot of GPU power), with window movements being hardware accelerated and expose events disabled (since each window actually has its own backing store, contents never need to be redrawn upon exposure). I don't know how accelerated this is compared to your average XP box or X 4.2.0, but it does sound good to me:-).
P.S. I hereby solemnly swear that I do not know crap about this issue and might just be talking out of my ass. Since this puts me well above the average Slashdotter at -1, I think it's just fine.

I would buy a server and 'net connection that can withstand Slashdotting...
