About to write something for a VCS ICT mag about Ubuntu so thought I'd
have a look at Natty - umm, not a big fan of Unity, ugly and

one at the top actually doing besides wasting space and telling me the
time and that' I'm networked? Can't add move a panel? Hmmm.
I'll concede that it might work well for people who want their puters to
be toasters but please God don't stop offering GNOME shell alternative!

I know what you mean, at present anyway. I note that the session can be
set to 'classic gnome' though......
The more I have thought about it, the more I come to believe that the
people who I help to take refuge away from Windows, would very much
welcome running a 'toaster', even though it would not be my own personal
choice. I do not use a Mac but isn't a Mac a lot more 'toaster' like
than Windows?
Ubuntu has got a lot going in the right direction and I can easily give
the benefit of the doubt to a somewhat radical direction. Fingers crossed.
Personally, I've found - due to using a netbook - that not having a
classical desktop is a real boon. Perhaps it just makes me tidier, not
having miscellaneous files dumped in front of me.
