Water's heavy on resources? :lol: What resources? :lol:
water effect utilizes openGL heavily and intel GMA X3000 is blacklisted in compiz-fusion cuz of driver support.

I just find a workaround using SKIP_CHECKS=true or something (dont remember exact command as am not on linux cuz my HDD crashed )like that into compiz cnfig file.

So water effects and snow effects were real slow, like slideshow:D

Intel GFX cards (above GMA900) are "blacklisted" due to lack of proper driver support from Intel. The water effects run fine (a bit slow but workable) on one of GeForce 440MX with 64MB RAM at my friends place!!! Blur slows down the system too much, tho. But as somebody said the Water and Fire plugins are a waste. I don't see their use as anything but screensaver.

infact nerolinux is there(got $$?) ;)
and Gnomebaker,brasero are nice too and fits well with Gnome.
u can edit isos using isomaster.
u shud consider installing sun-java6-plugins for sun jre support
u can install latest flashplayer 9beta(place libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ )rather than old plugin.just research.
u can install timidity+plugins(soundfonts!) for MIDI playback
u can try nrg2iso for .nrg files.
u can install sensors-applet+hddtemp or hardware-monitor for showing processor,mobo,hdd and other temperatures,volts etc in ur gnome-panel.
u have to install lm_sensors to do that.also install smartmontools for enabling custom smart options.
u can install pulseaudio server for better sound quality.
u can install xdialog for gtk popup dialogues(to ask question) when some packages are installed.
u can install ....wait @imeow!already slept..oops!:D:eek:

You could copy all the deb files in your /var/cache/apt folder if I recall correctly. But you might want to wait for someone to confirm.

^^ thats wat aptoncd does :? correct me if im wrong; im asking is there any way by which my current tweaked theme; the awn settings everything can be carried to another system?

If its user specific, then simply archive /home/<username> folder (including all hidden files). Jus extract them to the new location and voila! everything is intact: icons, themes, cursors, awn settings, emails, firefox/opera settings and almost every per user setting and software! :)

Its always better to haf a separate /home and /var partitions so that if you haf more than 1 distro then all those mentioned above (/home) could be shared across the same version software. It also helps, in case, you are formatting the root partition to perform a fresh install.

Yes :) But of corz you will need to install the downloaded packages thru Synaptic after mounting the AptOnCD ISO. Also for the config files to be intact ensure that the version number is same (in case you are installing a different disto). Coz the developers may change folder structure or change in config file structure etc. (Tho this is rare unless the version no. gap is too much)

Analogy: Common Program Files, My Documents etc. across two Windows versions. Get it? :)
