First impressions of 11.04

[Fred A. Miller]

I have to give credit where credit is due. I took a Dell 64-bit laptop
and did a Net. upgrade from the current Ubuntu with Gnome to 11.4. It
went flawlessly when it rebooted, including keeping VLC and other
software I had installed. I was concerned that Turboprint, which is a
commercial application - one which I don't care to do without because of
it's many functions that NO OTHER output to printer supports, mostly
with Gimp - was going to not only still be on the system but function
properly.....it is and does. Another, Bibble 5, also is still installed
and functions fine. Even the extra screen savers I had installed are
still available and work.

Getting used to Unity will take some time, but I think I can handle it.
One thing I REALLY think is important and isn't an option or not one I
can find, is to hid the top bar. I like to use all of the realestate I
can get.....more important on my desktop when working on large images in
Gimp. I also noted that 11.4 takes a lot longer to come up than current
Ubuntu. That's all for now......time for bed.
