| 1183512 | 2011-03-05 20:23:00 | I have done some useful work using Linux but the majority of such work I still do on a Windows platform. Don't let me stop you if you want to give Linux a go however. The only way to know is to try it and see. |

| 1183513 | 2011-03-05 21:43:00 | I just thought I'd give Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 a whirl. Aside from some minor issues during installation-time (It is Alpha after all), it's actually *really* slick! Much like the "wow" factor going from Windows 98 to XP, or from XP to Win7. Anyways, I figured I had nothing to lose, so I'm gonna run with it for a bit and see how I go :D |

| 1183514 | 2011-03-05 22:18:00 | Can't say I like the OSX-style of having the menus in the top bar instead of the window itself. Also the left-hand-side window controls are still stupid. I hope you can get rid of it and just use standard Gnome. |

| 1183516 | 2011-03-06 08:27:00 | I know if your system doesn't support the 3D from Compiz then it defaults to the stock Gnome. I thought it was supposed to revert to some form of quazi-gtk-qt mix if you couldn't use 3d?? Gnome-3 isn't far off too apparently? A month, give or take. Can't understand what they are doing though... Seems like a step back rather than a step forward. Unless you can live with terrible multitasking... |

| 1183517 | 2011-03-06 09:24:00 | Maybe I should switch back to KDE again.... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1183518 | 2011-03-06 19:15:00 | Maybe I should also try Ubuntu Live on the lappie, seeing that I could not run it on the old PC. Hmmmmmm, but I do like Win 7 a lot. sarel |
