That's an impressive background you have. I lived in Austin for a few years when I was younger (and even worked in the warehouse at Dell) and loved every minute of it. I also used to work in the same building as NetQoS back when pcOrder was still around. Small world. I'm really looking forward to reading your work. Wow! That's an impressive background you have.

The shell is so much more powerful than cmd.exe (since that's almost useless except for deleting registry keys and ipconfig and ping) that instead of having to say "click the thing that looks like ___, no it's next to the one that looks like ____. You can't see it? It's a button that says ____!!" you can go "copy and paste this: 'sudo apt-get install 915resolution' into the terminal" and avoid trying to describe buttons.

It'll also turn your Beryl and Compiz into daily builds and all unstable if you do that. Better would probably be to go through the repos and grab the specific Kiba debs OR you can build from SVN. I'm building it from SVN right now so I can debug (I want to work on the project a bit....hint: don't use the volume plugin or it segfaults), though I'm hitting a snag because of the options I'm using in my build (--enable-glitz) and the fact that I'm missing one specific header file.

It's not even in alpha yet, so there's no actual releases, but it works well (except for that volume == segfault thing). Kiba can be found in 3vin0's repositories, but I think it's daily builds.
