I would recommend using SYSRQ + REISUB instead of reset button.

I think that it's stable.

unstable :).

I don't think that that is going to happen, but you can install gnome
by installing package gnome-shell.

In that case you are at wrong place.
"The ubuntu-users mailing list should be used for technical support."

I think that you should ask add irc://irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu-discuss .*

*Requires IRC client like apt:xchat .

NOTICE! I am on mobile broadband with very limited time, so I cannot
read emails very much.
The best time to contact me is probably weekends when I have better
connectivity with good luck.
