Hi,

Complete Linux/Ubuntu n00b here so please bear with me.

I recently installed Ubuntu without trouble to my desktop and I'd really like to use the Beryl 3d desktop, but all of the how-to guides I have seen are confusing the hell out of me and I have to admit I find the terminal rather intimidating.

Anyway, I came upon the script located here:

http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/nVIDIA#Automatic_installation

And was wondering if anyone has had any feedback on whether it is a viable install alternative for the Ubuntu n00b? From what I gather it will completely automate the process of installing Nvidia drivers and beryl for me, and i would rather use this than messing up my install.

Many thanks in advance.

Did work nice for me

Top notch. Just finished using this very same script tonight and it worked beautifully, particularly after a few disasters using other "easy to use" guides...
