Excellent Beryl - edgy -aiglx HOWTO

I'm very happy that the tutorial below actually got me up and running with beryl. I had to shut off compiz as bad things were happening, and I downloaded the beta Nvidia drivers for x86 instead of x86_64, but after typing a crazy long URL for wget, I got the drivers running, got everything downloaded, and I was off to the races. Oh, the other thing this guide didn't mention is the AMD64 repo for beryl, namely, http://compiz-mirror.lupine.me.uk/ edgy main-edgy main-edgy-amd64

As for beryl, man I hated the zig-zag fading menus. I switched it to a straight fade and that's OK but too slow. Will have to fiddle now that it's running

HOWTO: Edgy, beryl, and aiglx with nvidia beta drivers
