+1 Interestingly this is the only version of Ubuntu since about 8.04
that I've put on a real partition to use daily. I've only tried versions
in Virtual box for the last few years but I really wanted to try Unity.
I don't like Gnome 3, haven't tried MATE, Cinnamon is ok, but a little
immature, I don't like KDE, Xfce is "ok" as is Lxde.... So about time I
tried Unity. So far, I'm enjoying it - intuitive to use. Will know for
sure after a couple of weeks.
