    Ubuntu is the most popular new-user distro these days. It's very easy to install and configure, and it's built on top of Debian, so it has access to Debian's huge selection of packages.

    Once you install your NVIDIA driver, you will be able to easily install Compiz Fusion. Instructions are available on the Ubuntu wiki.

    So give it a shot: you might find it a lot easier.

    If you looking for something pre-made try
    Eyecandy for your GNOME-Desktop - GNOME-Look.org for gnome

    Eyecandy for your KDE-Desktop - KDE-Look.org for kde

    If you want to make something yourself, then I'm not sure
