Ubuntu 11.04 installation process

[Amahdy]

I forgot to say that one last important thing was missing in this installer:
A default of three partitions (/ /home /swap) instead of all in one
partition ...

@Fawzy: I feel another one year until Unity get a level of stability enough,
for example I don't know how to even change the dock status (to be always
visible for example) by a GUI method ...
As for the applets, I'm not sure if Gnome applets will work there... "yet"

@Toulan: We can always download and install Gnome, and make it the default
:)) my next plans are testing Gnome3 (and no I won't test Unity now, I know
it's already full of bugs so I won't bug myself at this time)
