Thanks for that, it is a shame that Unity is changing so fast in some ways as I suspect they will want the book ASAP, but the latest book only covers 11.04, and I suspect 12.04 (due in June) will be notably different - there have already been noteable changes in 11.10. I guess that's the price of the printed page not being able to keep up! -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
