I have been using Ubuntu/Gnome for about 4 years now, with the odd foray into XFCE/LXDE ... as running full Ubuntu on Netbooks was bit of a performance/config issue. Last weekend, I went from Ubuntu/Gnome 10.10 to Kubuntu 11.10 and sadly within 4 hours was installing Ubuntu/Gnome 11.10. The new Plasma Interactive DM from KDE is non-intuitive, hard to config quickly and seems to be too clever for it's and obviously my own good. To be truthful, I only grabbed Kubuntu as I use KDE's Blue Marble as a Geo-app with some Ruby-coding I do. Now I'll just install Blue Marble on it's own. Unity while bit of a pest, is a far superior UI than Plasma and the supporting Gnome Application integration into your desktop, is as always excellent.. No doubt in my mind though that the respective Unity/Plasma DevTeams seem a bit far from their user base in terms of customisation, natural User work-flow and features. _______________________________________________ NZLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.linux.net.nz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nzlug
