This is what I have as a wiki structure for downloading from obby :

The idea is that we have a sort of multi-question quiz about thier hardware
and distribution (We will assume the distribution defaults), Desktop
environment etc to formulate a set of instructions for setup. The great
thing is that distributions seem to be really catching on to those
http://benjiweber.co.uk/installdemo/ kind of things. So after, we just have
a 'click on this' link, which is the apt / ymp link to the package and it
installs. Then we have a set of printable setup instructions for thier
computer. (Or an autogenerated script - which would be nice :-P)

Then, the user restarts X and voila! You have compiz :)

Actually, I found compiz relitavly easy to install at first, just hit
'Enable Desktop Effects' in SUSE

a better solution would be to link to a distro(s) of *nix that ships
> compiz or show a list of compiz supporting distro's


OpenSUSE
Fedora
Gentoo
All the other Gentoo based distros pretty much ;-)
Ubuntu


... Any more?
