Tech Exposures takes a look at Puppy Linux 4.2

"Puppy Linux is a popular Linux distribution that runs on less than 128MB of Ram.

We reviewed the June 2009 release v.4.2 of Puppy Linux, which comes in a 110 MB file download from their website, or from accepted mirrors. The iso file is then burnt to CD and runs as a Live CD. After installing the Live CD into RAM, I experienced my HP Laptop (2GB RAM) run faster than I’ve ever seen with any other OS or Linux Distro."

Bunftu posted a brief guide about configuring Compiz under Ubuntu Linux

"When taking a look at "CompizConfig Settings Manager" in Ubuntu it can be a little overwhelming when considering all the possible combinations available to us. Often when you set up a couple effects, it seems that you rarely ever see them, or they have to be self induced. Even when we place an effect on a common task we quickly become bored with the same effect happening time and time again.

After taking a closer look at the "Animations" panel located inside "CompizConfig Settings Manager". I took a close look at the “Window Match” string and compiled my own string to include as many “Window Match” keywords as possible."
