It's a nice find, but I wouldn't trust it. CompizFusion on Gutsy or Hardy, Beryl on Feisty, are more than enough....

Here is why I don't trust it:

Ubuntu Tweak 0.2.4 Beta released!

December 11th, 2007
Hello! Ubuntors:
The translations of Ubuntu Tweak haven’t finished yet. But I can’t wait to show you the prerelease.
Although it is a beta release and I can’t say it has no bugs, but it’s stable. Just try it!

It was a beta less than a month ago, and it is 0.2.4 by a script kiddie.... trust if you are playing with Linux, but don't install it on your primary install... yet

Almost everything is at least beta in the Linux world, and the stuff that is finalized is rather ancient (figuratively speaking).

Still, if it supports Heron, then why not just wait until Heron is officially released?

No use running beta on beta, then you don't know which to blame...

Heron is in Alpha at this time.... I personally don't mind trying betas. I've never had a beta app hose my system. If it's buggy I uninstall and report it to the developer....
