I have ubuntu (and edubuntu) on a few machines.  I just updated to fiesty fawn and now it seems it has 3d desktop enhancements built in.  Wobbly windows and the 3d cube.  I believe it is compiz based.  Now I don't really know much about this - I am an old dos lover and love the command line - used blackbox and then fluxbox for years (never got into the menu managers that auto-created the menus for these - as a side note, did any of these work well??)

I see I can install beryl - what's the big difference.  I read somewhere they were (or are?) the same project, sort of . . . 

Opinions?

Thanks,
