Installing newest Compiz Fusion from the developer GIT can be a very boring, slow and difficult way for the Linux noobies, or even, PC noobies. Just I found the newest release of Compiz Fusion (0.7.6) in they launchpad.net repositories, this could help many people to have such nice effects like cube reflection and deformation, 3d windows, and other such nice effects, test them, because I am on that ;)

Add the following repositories according to the Ubuntu version that you use in /etc/apt/sources.list :)

Ubuntu Hardy

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu hardy main

Then just remember to update and upgrade your packages, have fun! :D
