introduction

Hello.  My name is Danny.
I use vinux in my secondary machine.
But I thought I would give ubuntu 11.10 a try.
I like the fact that it may be installed using orca.
When logged in, after install, I had to find system settings and raise the 
volume.
but it was odd I could not find my way around and tell how to find shutdown.
Nor was I able to find the usual programs such as g edit, and the like.
But maybe I will get more comfortable with unity 2 the more I use it.

11.10 mixed bag

[dannyboy]

I have successfully installed ubuntu 11.10 as a virtual machine under vm ware 
fusion.
I had to raise the volume after installation, but that was no problem.
I used the f 10 key and found some menus.
Now I know how to shut down.
But using fire fox was harder than using vinux.
Getting to some menus was complicated by the overall menu being merged with the 
fire fox menu.
Also, the web visum plug-in did not function.  Or, if it did, I could not get 
to the dialog box where I entered my name and password.
Also, it is still hard for me to know where familiar applications have gone.
But, maybe I will get more comfortable with 11.10.
And, maybe ubuntu will improve over time.
For now, vinux is still my first choice of linux distributions.
