Improve Usability Through 3-D Desktop Effects

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 delivers dramatic, high-sizzle desktop effects that improve usability. Through Novell contributions (i.e., Xgl and 'Compiz') to the open source graphics subsystems, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop opens up a whole world of hardware acceleration, eye-popping animation, separation of hardware resolution from software resolution, and more. As a result, Linux desktops become more usable, end-user productivity increases, and Linux is firmly positioned at the forefront of client computing technology.

Key graphics features shipping with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop include:

  • Application tiling, which provides a snapshot of all open applications
  • Alt tabbing, which includes thumbnail views of open applications
  • 3-D desktop, which provides more desktop space for more efficient use of your desktop
