Compiz Fusion is a collection of plugins and a configuration system for the Compiz compositing window manager for the X Window System. Compiz Fusion is the result of a merge between the old Compiz community plugin set "Compiz Extras" and the parts of the Beryl project that are independent of the window manager core.
The aim of the project is to port almost all of the features of Beryl to Compiz plugins, and continue to write further Compiz plugins. At the same time, Beryl has been discontinued and Compiz will add some of the core changes made by Beryl to the Compiz core.

[edit] History
Compiz Fusion is the result of the re-unification of the Beryl-project and the community around the Compiz Window Manager.[1] The name was changed to Compiz Fusion from the tentative name of CompComm.[2]
Compiz Fusion is fairly simple to install on most open source operating systems provided the hardware can support it.
On October 4, 2007, openSUSE 10.3 became the first major distribution to officially provide Compiz Fusion packages, as well as shipping with Compiz.[3]
On October 18, 2007 Ubuntu 7.10 followed by using Compiz Fusion as the default window manager on supported hardware.[4]
