Hi & Welcome!

In addition to Caf’s post, have a look here for some more info about Compiz-Fusion and openSUSE : Compiz Fusion - openSUSE
And the original project: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/
Have allot of fun! :wink:

thanx for the help if you guys have any other advise for cool effects plz let me know

Only thing I would add at this time is:
Generally I would advise anyone using such effects as compiz to NOT use auto login. If you ask me it’s a security nightmare having it enabled.

WHY: because sometimes the GUI throws a wobbly and you can get to the desktop. It’s easier for less experienced users to then just login to icewm to repair the problem.

The, unless you feel really adventurous and tread the kde4 path. Then there is loads to go at.

Packman repo, I think has lots of Mac effects, trays, etc… you can use in gnome

i cant get it to connect to the internet tho thats the only problem i’m gettin and my cisco teachers have tried to help me. . . we’ve replaced the ethernet card and everything else

It would help if you tell us what sort of NIC you are using. As you say replaced, I guess PCI.

So in a terminal do:

lspci

post result here or just the part we need if you can see it

There is a Hardware page here:
Hardware - openSUSE

You may be able to find your ethernet card there

You might want to start a new thread on this in the right area, and use the forum rather than PM’s, then everyone can have input, you will get better help that way
