I haven't even upgraded to 11.04 yet, I've had problems with many versions, on many computers - but Ubuntu isn't the best for stability, with all the changes they make every 5 minutes. I'm not upgrading to 11.04 until I find a way to get rid of the OSX style menus and window buttons - if I wanted that I'd buy a Mac!	Agent_24 (57)

1202205	2011-05-16 03:16:00	150 users (1800 if you include students), 2x ESX units, 2x SAN. 1 domain, 1 DC :blush:. ~20 VMs	jwil1 (65)
1202206	2011-05-16 04:02:00	Tip number 3: When they say they never touched anything.......normally means they did 99% of the time	Gobe1 (6290)
1202207	2011-05-16 04:15:00	If people don't feel they can talk to you, you're only making life hard for your self/restricting your self from progressing. Best advice ever. A good bedside manner goes a long way. That, and proficiency with the Google Machine is worth more than a piece of paper proving you memorized some answers in a lot of cases. Not all, but a lot. Tip number 3: When they say they never touched anything.......normally means they did 99% of the time :thumbs: too right!	Chilling_Silence (9)

Choose another theme, some of them have the minimize/restore/close buttons on the right-hand side. They're all kind of ugly though!	Renegade (16270)

That's not the main problem, I already use another theme to fix that issue. you could just log in using the classic - no effects mode. thats what i have been doing after installing 11.04. you can choose that option on the login screen. I read about that, but I couldn't get it to work on the LiveCD - I think I need to install a test version somewhere first. How is Classic? Just like the old Gnome or something else? Can you set it as default and remove the new mode\style?	Agent_24 (57)

If you are short-tempered than you might hurt someone on the first day :p (well if your users are like mine :) )	ronyville (10611)
