Ehm,I have the idea that you do not exactly know what you are talking about,at least not enough to write a HowTo;not offending,but a
HowTo should make sense.
Compiz fusion is installed by default.
For this compiz-core is needed,so the command:
sudo apt-get -y remove compiz-core desktop-effects
makes no sense.Besides,a package called desktop-effects does not
exist,so it cannot be removed.
compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
is all you may want to install (it is not by default).
Why
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy ??
