Compiz brings dynamic desktop effects to my Unbuntu desktop

Lately I've been messing with Ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop PC. I have to say I am really impressed by the usability and feature set of this thing. I has nothing to envy to Mac OS X or Windows Vista.
Today I just installed Compiz and Emerald theme manager on my Ubuntu desktop.
For those who may one day fall on my blog, here are the step I followed in order to install, configure and use Compiz+Emerald:

Finally some screenshots of my Ubuntu/Compiz desktop and I strongly advise you to try it for yourself.
