Thanks man. Thanks for the suggestion on the song for the video .

^superb!the background number too BTW,are u able to get that effects in a amd ati card ?

Yes Ati will work with Gutsy Gibbon with the effects. But I have only tried this with 32 bit Ubuntu not the 64 bit one. Theres an article on Phoronix which gives detailed instructions. You can find it here at *www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7193 .

and the terminal o/p etc cannot be read..too blurry.

biju@Venom:~$ uname -a
Linux Venom 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
biju@Venom:~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 7.10 \n \l

This is what was in the terminal. Unfortunately when i sued gtk-recordmydesktop it recorded the whole thing at desktop resolution so I got a HUGE video. 6 minutes was 300 MB if I recall right. After that I used ffmpeg to convert it to 4cif resolution (704x576) . Theres no way i can upload a file with original size though . If you want Ill gladly send you a copy .

hmm..may be I should post my archlinux kdemod desktop video too !

Yes please do. I would like to see how Arch Linux is a review would also be nice !

I am no fan of Desktop effects though although I enjoy it in Ubuntu.
regarding archlinux,it is a rolling release based system which needs(not really!) constant updates as it carries latest packages.
kdemod is a must I feel,it is really fast-what u will never except from the original bloat
