Xgl - the newest, coolest thing for the Linux desktop. Linux even has this kind of eye-candy before Microsoft Vista hits the market. Well - whatever it means “to have it”. If non-Linux companies claim a feature in their product, it normally means it’s more or less integrated. The Linux world is different. Of course Xgl is flying around for at least a year or so in the experimental package repository near to you. But now SUSE (didn`t notice when they changed its name from SuSE to SUSE…) officially writes for their 10.1 version that “it’s inside”. Litarelly it is only as long as you call a several sides long installation instruction page on opensuse.org “inside”, making it “relatively easy on SUSE Linux 10.1″. In reviews about SuSE, sorry, SUSE 10.1 you find things like that:

Of course you can get a 3D desktop like that on your Linux (if you invest enough time configuring it and trouble shoot all its children’s diseases), and it’s even before Vista is available at your computer dealer around the corner. But it’s a very different kind of perception what “support” for a feature means.
