Re: is anyone here using the new ubuntu, 11.10?

Hi Robin,

Yep, using 11.10 with Unity at the moment. Didn't get on with Gnome 3
very well, so ditched it. Have managed to make Unity more or less
usable. I found a LOT of "how to" websites via Google. I suggest you
just try asking Google about what you're trying to achieve. I suspect
you'll be amazed at how many others are in a similar situation.

Cheers,

Dave
