I've been testing natty since the early alphas on an older Acer Laptop that I no longer use for production work. Reading the discussion about the Unity interface has been enlightening for me - mainly because I have never seen it on this machine - either in 2d or 3d incarnations. In terms of a Gnome offering, it is certainly slick. Getting used to the alterations in the applets (the new all-in-one type) has been a bit of a challenge, but learning is part of the alpha-beta-rc testing cycle. I am disappointed that this release is the first ubuntu release (since 04.10) that I haven't been able to get working in it's default configuration on this laptop. I don't believe it's a hardware issue, as I've never had problems running compiz in all it's forms on this particular laptop. For those that are interested it's an rv250 model radeon card, which has been supported in kernel / x for many years. http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon#head-8ad75f5b8c858723a20706910cabcef7ed6d336c I'm a huge ubuntu fanboy, I've used it since the beginning. Ubuntu enabled my family to finally get away from Windows, but I'm hoping this isn't the end for us. I will continue to play with natty, and I hope that I will eventually see unity in some form on my hardware. I'm not giving up yet, but the seeds of doubt have been planted. I look forward to the next round of bugfixes - each batch of updates gives me hope. :-) Cheers, MoLE -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
