I am using 11.04 with, what I assume to be, the original Gnome desktop. My computer is not particularly sophisticated being about 5 years old and I would like to know whether I am likely to encounter a whole lot of new problems to solve should I decide to upgrade. I have tried to follow comments made by list members and am rather confused and elderly. I have been using Ubuntu since the first release and any real help would be much appreciated.
Yes - try 11.10 from the live-CD. If you like it, install it. If you prefer the Gnome desktop, consider using XUbuntu. On an older box, it might suit you better. Again, run it from the live-CD until you are sure it's what you want. If the live-CD does everything you want, Ok. If not, you'll know what the problems are without sabotaging your existing install.
