Hi Agus:
I've used Ubuntu since 7.04 distro and I understand you. I hate Unity
desktop, but as it's possible to get the Gnome desktop I am still
working with 11.10, ready to jump to 12.04. I supose I´ll fight for my
gnome desktop, but it's possible to get.
I met Linux Mint last year, and it's same as Ubuntu; even repositories
are same for both... so the difference is just the desktop. Keep you
with Ubuntu. A Google search for "ubuntu 12.04 gnome desktop" is useful.
Regards from Cajamarca-Perú

Agustin,
I suppose it depends on what you don't like about Ubuntu. I also use 10.04,
and am planning on upgrading to 12.04 but keeping the GNOME desktop
environment.
Ii think you'll be disapointed...
But if you're looking to get away from Ubuntu, what about the
OSGeo-Live distro? It's based on Xubuntu and comes pre-loaded with QGIS and
a bunch of other GIS software, as well as other goodies like R. I've used it
occasionally to test some of the applications that aren't in the regular
Ubuntu repos.
That's a good way to get introduced to the different OSGeo applications, but
does not solve my problem.
Thanks!
Agus
Best,

Hi Agus!
I am using LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) since more than a year now
and I am very satisfied with it.
Before I used Gentoo Linux (which also worked fine) but Gentoo was too
much compiling time for me .. So I decided to switch back to something I
use on servers since a long long time .. Good old debian .. But as plain
debian is on one side rock solid - the other side is .. you always are a
bit outdated .. Thats the reason why I choose the rolling release LMDE
based on debian testing ..
I never had a real problem using it and can recommend it for everything
you want to do..
So on your side - if you want to switch away from ubuntu .. don't take
linuxmint - it is based on ubuntu anyway (ok they try to not use unity -
but the base is still the same).. just take LMDE .. debian, stable, with
newer software from mint..
(I don't want to start a distribution flamewar here - it's just that I
am really satisfied with it)
just my 2¢
kind regards
Werner
