			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well after going through a large number of guides like <a href="http://www.blog.arun-prabha.com/2007/12/11/yet-another-guide-for-compiz-ati-ubuntu-gutsy/" target="_blank">this</a> i finally thought about giving guide at <a href="http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide">cchtml</a> a try, well the hings mentioned are really great but not all steps are needed so here is a simplified version</p>
<p>Here i assume that you have not done any of this step before and are doing it for the first time but if that is not the case then this <b>might</b> not work for you.<br />
Ok so first step installation of drivers, there are two steps for this as mentioned in the cchtml wiki one automatic and other manual, for automatic you  need to enable the restricted repositories by going to System&gt;&gt;Administration&gt;&gt;Software Sources, and the typing<br />
<code>sudo apt-get update<br />
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager<br />
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx</code><br />
which will install the drivers by downloading them from net, if you dont have the bandwidth to download that much you can go for the manual install where we will build those file, here i assumed that you have copy of the ati drivers <b>.run</b> file which if your Ubuntu is installed by me could be found at &#8220;/&#8221;, to build we need to install certain packages<br />
<code>sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 linux-headers-generic dkms</code><br />
to build the packages type<br />
<code>sudo bash ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy</code><br />
in the directory where you have the ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run file, this is the latest file at the time of writing but you might have a different file this will work with any driver after 8.38, as they have AIGLX support anyway now we need to install the packages made type<br />
<code>sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.443.1-1*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.443.1-1*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.443.1-1*.deb</code><br />
when you do that you might be asked<br />
<code>Configuration file `/etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager'<br />
==&gt; Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.<br />
==&gt; Package distributor has shipped an updated version.<br />
What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:<br />
Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version<br />
N or O  : keep your currently-installed version<br />
D     : show the differences between the versions<br />
Z     : background this process to examine the situation<br />
The default action is to keep your current version.<br />
*** compiz-manager (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?</code><br />
just answer Y to the question and proceed, once this is done you now need to edit the xorg.conf file type (here &#8212; is [minus][minus] unlike a big [minus] as it appears to be )<br />
<code>aticonfig --initial<br />
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf</code><br />
and replace<br />
<code>Section "Device"<br />
Identifier  "Generic Video Card"<br />
Driver      "vesa"<br />
BusID       "PCI:1:5:0"<br />
EndSection</code><br />
WITH<br />
<code>Section "Device"<br />
Identifier  "Generic Video Card"<br />
#Driver      "vesa"<br />
BusID       "PCI:1:5:0"<br />
Option		"VideoOverlay"		"on"<br />
Option		"OpenGLOverlay"		"off"<br />
EndSection</code> now just restart the X server but pressing Ctrl + ALT + Backspace, all done this will give you the Basic 3D effects but who is satisfied with  that we need more so we will go for installing Compiz settings manager, for this type<br />
<code> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager gcompizthemer subversion<br />
svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes</code><br />
now accept the certificate and fetch the themes by going to System&gt;&gt;Preferances&gt;&gt;Emerald Themes Manager,<br />
to enable 3D effects go to System&gt;&gt;Preferances&gt;&gt;Appearance then Visual Effects select Custom and edit your settings by Preferances<br />
now you are all set to blow  everyone up with your Linux box&#8217;s 3D effects enjoy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So now i know how to make a local Ubuntu / Debian LAN repository on Fedora using apt-cacher, apt-cacher as the name says caches all the packages with it when ever any client requests a package from it, it checks if the package that is there with it is latest or not if it is then it serves that package else it downloads the package and serves it, but well i am not discussing what it does here but how to set it up on Fedora 8, so lets begin</p>
<p>for apt-cacher to work you need to have a apache server installed and the source of apt-cacher which can be downloaded from <a href="http://packages.debian.org/etch/apt-cacher">here</a> just and extract it and follow the following step as root<br />
<code>mv apt-cacher-1.5.3 /usr/share/apt-cacher</code><br />
here 1.5.3 was the latest package during my writing, then rename apache.conf to /etc/httpd/conf.d/apt-cacher.conf and set the permisions<br />
<code>cd /usr/share/apt-cacher<br />
mv apache.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/apt-cacher.conf<br />
chmod 644 /etc/httpd/conf.d/apt-cacher.conf<br />
chown root:root /etc/httpd/conf.d/apt-cacher.conf</code><br />
now just restart apache<br />
<code>/etc/init.d/httpd restart</code><br />
now rename apt-cacher2 to apt-cacher and move all the .conf files to /etc/apt-cacher/<br />
<code>mv apt-cacher2 apt-cacher<br />
mkdir /etc/apt-cacher<br />
mv *.conf /etc/apt-cacher/</code><br />
now edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/apt-cacher.conf and edit user and group to apache<br />
<code>gedit /etc/httpd/conf.d/apt-cacher.conf</code><br />
after doing that run install.pl<br />
<code>./install.pl</code><br />
now make /var/cache/apt-cacher and /var/log/apt-cacher owned by apache<br />
<code>chown -R apache /var/cache/apt-cacher<br />
chown -R apache /var/log/apt-cacher</code><br />
all done just goto http://yourip/apt-cacher and every thing should work fine, if it does not then check /var/log/http/error_log for what went wrong and dont forget to forward the port 3142 (default) so that everyone can access it<br />
you can see how to configure it <a href="http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-set-up-a-repository-cache-with-apt-cacher">here</a> and since you are on Fedora you will have to modify some steps a little<br />
enjoy<br />
