Is there any way to open a PDF document such that it uses full horizontal space without the toolbar on the left? And what about Web browser? Will I have to scroll horizontally too on my Netbook. Urghhhhh..... I want to get rid of Unity :-\

during login select Classic Ubuntu for gnome.

Ubuntu is going to be more fun with optional Unity and if it supports GNOME 3 then it's fantastic!!!

^Faun: Your avatar reminds me the dance moves of Sushmita Sen from Fiza

I have downloaded both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 64 bits and found Unity to be interesting and not at all as radical as KDE was. The release is polish as usual.

Nope. And apparently similar lads come up to every message board and say "Unity suxx", and "Gnome Shell suxxx"

Glad, I didn't say that. Have some reasons not to try out these two now

Any idea how to solve overlapping partition problem ? I can't upgrade because of the error. The installer recognises the whole HDD as unpartitoned space and so does g-parted XD. Also can we upgrade an wubi install without net?

Haters gonna be haters.
Unity and Gnome 3 don't suck at ALL. They might have bugs, less features or problems, but they definitely don't suck.

^Maybe it is too smart for the joes

plenty of options. use what u like.

Okies guys, finally upgraded to Natty...!! It looks good..!! I'm impressed, it's time to play with Unity No way I'm going back to GNOME again

BTW did I mentioned that the whole upgrade took approx. 7.5 hours on my 512 kbps connection??

Upgrade was smooth, I'm impressed that this time it didn't broke anything.

unity is not good at all.
the icons take up too much real estate.
most of the power tools are hidden behind the curtains.

imho, its made for new users and netbook freaks.


gnome 3 is ok, kinda weird placement of panels and stuff, but usable.

i think i will stick to gnome 2
