I, too, think that Unity is fine for a netbook and I'll use it there.
But on my desktop PC I'll continue to use Gnome 2 at least for 11.04. So
I wonder if it would be a solution to make Unity the default Desktop but
offer a choice during installation to override this default and use
Gnome2 (or Gnome3) instead. This would make it easy for those who prefer
a Gnome desktop instead of the new Unity desktop.
