I believe that on the Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 installations, gnome 3 is the desktop manager and I use, as I use on Debian 7, when i boot it,, gnome classic, as it kind of resembles gnome 2, to an extent, but, as far as I am aware, I do not have ubuntu unity installed on either ubuntu installation. > Well, they don't argue about tastes, as they say. > Ever tried this Mate thing?

I understand that mate is in spanish, and it appears to lack the functionality of gnome 2. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
