but it looks like Unity is still a big waste of clicks. Too many clicks to wade through the system menu to find your applications-- they seem to think searching for every darn thing is cool. No recent documents menu. No one-click workspace switching. No easy menu editor. The launcher is all clogged with LibreOffice and Ubuntu One, neither of which I want front and center. I guess nice easy one-click shortcuts are illegal now. |

Quoting: I guess nice easy one-click shortcuts are illegal now So it seems. Fortunately, only on particular DEs. |

tuxchick -- Funny you should mention that: I was just using the Oneiric beta last night, forcing myself to try to "get" Unity. After two hours figuring out how this desktop environment is easier, I gave up. There's too much "inside football" for me to do the stuff I want to do, or so it seems. |

Larry, I was hoping it was improved from Natty. I'll still test it to see for myself. Then I can whinge from experience :) Or maybe find something to like, who knows. In Natty it's a trainwreck for actually getting anything done. Launcher on the side, cool, it makes sense for widescreens. The Gnome panel does not adapt well to being placed on the side of the screen. So why not just fix that and leave all the good stuff in place? Cascading menus, easily customizable menus, easily customizable panel...apparently these are all bad and must be exterminated. |

I await with interest the 12.04 version. Since it's an LTS, Canonical has to live with supporting it for 3 years, and one can hope they will have gotten together something a bit more polished (how's that for understatement?). I can live with New, as long as it's not Less. |

Oops.... blundered that from my mother's system while I was doing weekly maintenance. |

no worries, I give all the computers I install female names, my current machine is named annie, and my favourite netbook brenda, I just thought it strange that your real name might be Ann. |
