It will be either an apt-get away, or an option on the login screen, this is still unclear. Hope that's helpful. -Matt Daubney </blockquote></div> I have found Unity a very enjoyable experience overall. I quickly got used to and now really like the Unity desktop for my netbooks - although when I first saw pictures of Gnome3 and Unity it didnt appeal. Using the beta versions was an interesting experience and was amazed how quickly improvements were made. After using Unity for a while now I dont plan on switching back to the desktop or older Netbook desktop on my netbooks. I find Unity fast and responsive on the whole - even on a simple Asus Eee netbook. The only thing that is a fraction slow is the drawing of the application and file & folders. This does not detract much as I have a button for nautilus and my favorite apps all in the Unity launcher. A useful feature would be to have the Zeitgeist powered apps/doc search in the top horizontal panel, as a quick launcher and file search. My thanks to everyone involved in the Unity / netbook remix for all their hard work (especially with a shortened deadline this time). -- John Stevenson Lean Agile Consultant / Coach <a href="http://jr0cket.com">jr0cket.com</a> | <a href="http://leanagilemachine.com">leanagilemachine.com</a>
