Idea #8118: Integrate Compiz-Check into Default Install

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/check-if-compiz-will-run-well-on-your-linux-box-wi th-compiz-check/

The site above includes details about a tool that will tell you simply if your box may properly run compiz effects.

I would love to see this in the default ubuntu install or at least in the repositories for easy install.
