Ubuntu switching to Unity Desktop

[Ricardo Lameiro]

The only problems coming is that we only will now the real performace of
unity very near to the release date, and that is bad for US. If we already
have problems with 3d and RT kernels, imagine how much more people will have
problems with a 3d desktop wihout a fully supported driver for its kernel.
more over pushing the user to the usage of propietary drivers etc...

I would stick for Gnome 2.x if it is available (and I believe it will be,
since ubuntu needs a fallback for non 3D ready computers),or then switch to
XFCE.

I am of the opinion that if we have to change from desktop enviroment, then
it should be a lightweight one. LXDE its also a possibility.
Of course all of this needs testing. Maybe we could try to install stuff
from the base up trying XFCE to see how it works.
