Please note that this is based on pageranks from distrowatch, i.e. this only shows something about what pages on distrowatch people have been looking at. It shows absolutely nothing about what people actually use. With respect to the ubuntu UI, I personally am happily using it. As far as I understand, the "old" gnome UI was abandoned for version 3.0 and canonical (company behind ubuntu) decided to go somewhere else ( thats the short description). anyways: You should be able to disable the global application menu as shown here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/how-do-i-disable-the-global-application-menu Best regards Folmer > > -- > ======================================================================= > All Things Serve the Beam > ======================================================================= > David J.
