Re: Switching to Kubuntu; problems?

[Mike Biancaniello]

I was able to get gnome shell to work the way I wanted it to (at least I think it was gnome shell -- Ubuntu 11.10 with the classic desktop).  There were some changes like I had to hold 'alt' when right-clicking the panel to get the menu that I was expecting (add new panel, add to this panel, etc), but overall, I really did not notice a difference.

I'm currently looking at migrating my kids' ltsp server to 11.10 and so far, so good.From: Robert Curriden <rcurriden at gmail.com>

Panels, visual effects, plug-ins, forcing the use of Gnome shell...



This move by Canonical is not unlike Microsoft's changing in their own

UI, and is just as arrogant.



FWIW, I am waiting until 12.04; I've used Ubuntu for some time now, and

don't want to change. I just can't stand Unity, and don't want to have

to either use a broken UI and hope they don't completely eliminate it

with the next version, or be stuck using a crippled interface best

suited for smaller touchscreen devices.
