It's in your repositories. Use the synaptic package manage and type it in.  

Answer 2

I have a blog post up about this. Its a pretty good step by step. http://averageubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/0...

First off you will probably need to enable restricted drivers for your graphics card. Simply go to System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers. Simply place a check by your graphic card driver. You will probably have to download the drivers and reboot your system after this.

Next you should be ready to enable the effects. Go to System --> Preferences --> Appearance. Click on the Visual Effects and enable the Extra Effects. You can try this before enabling the restricted drivers, if you do not have the correct drivers you will then have to go and install them.

Next you will probably want to enable the desktop cube and all of that great stuff so open up Synaptic and search for compizconfig-settings-manager. After this is installed go to System --> Preferences --> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. You will then have all of the effects at your disposal.

If that doesn't get it going send me an email and we'll see what we can do to get it running.

Compiz fusion is already installed. You will have to install your graphic driver though. Go to http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy and search for compiz in the page for more detail.
