[jinchuriki]

Hi guys,

I used to be happy with my fc5 and compiz but lately when i tried to compile and install the latest compiz-fusion into fc5, i broke my compiz and now i couldn't get the old compiz working.

Anyone kind enough to help me?

Hahaha, i guessed that someone would tell that to me..

Anyway, i installed quite a number of services in my pc and it would be a pain to do that again.

Any other takers?

If you do not like keeping up to date you may want to consider switching to something with a longer support life. Centos is RHel with the logos removed. It is free to download and has a five year support life. Generally running an unsupported version (exposed to the net) is a threat to the community.
