Pros:

    * No compiling, all packages downloaded from Ubuntu repositories.

    * Userspace compiz startup configuration.

    * Works with both fglrx/ATI and Nvidia cards.

    * Cooler X functionality, more responsive GUI.

    * Impress your friends.

    * You know you've been aching to try it.




Cons:

    * Recommended dist-upgrade to Dapper.

    * Requires proprietary 3d acceleration drivers, reasonable card.

    * Beta and somewhat buggy software.

    * Video playback issues (mostly on ATI cards).

    * Getting your feet wet.
