For a bit further clarification for Bob:

Just in case you didn't know, CentOS and Scientific Linux are both based off of 
the same open source operating system, provided by a vendor which shall remain 
nameless (Rhymes with Ned Spat). So a lot of advice that people give for CentOS 
can apply for Scientific Linux and vice versa. ;)

The compiz control panel is ccsm (Compiz Config Settings Manager), try using 
YUM to figure out where that comes from:

# yum provides */ccsm
(I don't think it's on the standard repos)

Try also:
# yum search compiz

There is an alt repo which you can install: rpmforge

You can install this repo with yum:

#yum install yum-conf-rpmforge

There are a number of extra packages on there - hope this helps!

Greetings all,

New to scientific linux, I just installed 6.2. I was hoping someone
could give me direction in installing the compiz control panel, I have
searched the internet and not come up with anything.

I have managed to install skype and get it working, but would really
like to get the compiz control panel going. Also, I was using Ubuntu
before and installed their medibuntu repos. Is there something like that
for scientific linux as well.

thanks,
bob
