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

I am using Mint 10 on my desktop because of unity - it was not
to hot when I first tried it a while ago.

However I have just managed to get Arch linux with Gnome 3
working on my laptop.  I just reset it up as an NFS client of my
desktop and am currently backing up my desktop data to it.
(These days I record how I do things that I might have to do
again)
Really when I am honest running things is not that different
and anything I use a lot can go in the window on the left.
otherwise its similar to using an old style menu.

Also as cliff mentioned there is dconf which the arch
beginners install wiki explained how to use to make some
sensible changes.  Have not tried that yet.

The last time I tried to install Arch I found it hard and failed to
  get KDE up and running, this time I found Gnome was much
easier to get  running.  pretty well everything I want is working.

I can see me eventually installing Arch linux on my desktop
as well - when I am confident that I can handle any problems
that come up.
