Ah okay. Thanks.
I thought I had to reinstall Ubuntu Desktop.
I could not upgrade to 10.04 successfully using the Update Manager. It would just stop after downloading the packages.
So I thought I'd better do a fresh install. Now that I don't need to, how to I get the Desktop look?
Also, is it possible to use the XFCE Window manager in Desktop instead of Gnome? I used to use Xubuntu years ago & liked it because it was simple (some say ugly) and fast.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mark and welcome to this mailing list.
I've personally tried the desktop version on my Msi wind u100 before.
To be honest, I prefer the desktop version more as I am more used to
windows environment.
At the end of the day, it is up to personal preferences. The nbr
allows you to access your fave program easier on the small screen. But
if you are not used to it, give the desktop version a try.
I hope you do know that you do not need to reinstall ubuntu to get the
desktop experience. Just installation of sone package will do.
Let us know how else can we help!
With regards,
Yi Hao
