Getting Compiz Fusion on Fedora 9

If by any chance you have not heard of Compiz fusion, its a compositing window manager which practically leaves all the Vista Aero fans in awe.. here is a small sample video of Compiz fusion, see it to beileve it.

Well its pretty easy to install it. Just install the following packages.

• emerald-themes
• compiz-fusion-extras
• emerald
• compiz-fusion
• compiz-manager
• compiz-fusion-extras-gnome
• gnome-compiz-manager
• libcompizconfig
• compiz-fusion-gnome
• ccsm
• compiz-fusion-icon

Emerald is the window decorator for Compiz. It is not absolutely necessary to install it but it  gives much more cool title bars and window borders than the default window decorators…

CCSM is the Config utility for Compiz fusion.
