Well, I know LiveCDs boot slowly.  So that's what Compiz-Fusion is, 
that's good to know.  What impressed me the most when I tried that 
LiveCD was that it had a Quake 4 demo.  It not only ran on my system but 
ran rather well.  I owe my improved system performance to Ubuntu, since 
the RAM testing program on the boot menu of the Live CD helped me 
determine that I had bad RAM.  I've replaced it and now my weird lock up 
issues I've been having are gone ... for the most part but then that's 
the nature of Windoze.  Once Gutsy is out I'll give it a full evaluation 
and then make my final decision as to which distro to use.

The two top contenders are:
Ubuntu - I like Compiz better than KDE, its similar to the Mac desktop 
and I'm sort of used to that.
Sabayon - It has a lot of video and audio codecs already installed 
unlike Ubuntu which requires you to add them after installation, but it 
uses KDE and as I said before I prefer Compiz.
