3D desktop interface for Linux

Windows Vista is supposed to come out with a 3D interface named 'aero'. However, it is supposed to be released with the release of Vista - scheduled for this year end.

However, a linux initiative has already come up with a 3D interface called Compiz. I haven't been able to try it out yet as I don't have a PC at home :( . However the screenshots are pretty amazing. The one below is a OpenGL whale swimming across your desktop.


How cool is that !! :-)
