What should the other option be? Going from 10.04 to 12.04 involves deprecating Gnome 2.x, so *something* has to replace it. > Of course, if I'll get an option during my routine upgrade 10.04 to > 12.04 to install a standard desktop-computing UI, I'll be entirely > happy, as I don't particularly want the faff of a new install of > Xubuntu or Debian. > > However, I'm assuming that the routine upgrade will just install > Unity.

Big changes happen at major version releases, the expectation being that on upgrading between major versions you'll have a look at what you're getting before beginning the work; and minor releases don't make such big changes to how things work so don't need such research or preparation. That's why there's two sorts of upgrade. -- Avi -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
