From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It ain't quite the compiz/beryl cube, nor even what I remember as the last iteration of the kwin cube, but it's a step in the right direction!
The Compiz cube was fun... I blogged about it nearly 20 years ago. https://d.sb/2006/09/laptop-linux-and-compiz
Fun trip down memory lane. Also, bitchin' domain name!
Thanks!
I need to redesign my site one day. Simplify it. The current design is from 2008, using design features (like the striped backgrounds) that were popular back then.
