[ubuntu-za] Well done Ubuntu team ........ Ubuntu 12:04 is a treat

[Nico Michael]

Hi there

I had problems with my Ubuntu 11:10 it had broken I lost my sound and it 
stopped auto-detecting USB storage devices

On Saturday Marius Kruger gave me copy of the new Ubuntu and encouraged 
me to upgrade my Ubuntu to fix it.

Although I had made two sets of backups I decided it was worth the risk 
as I would have to re-roll my Ubuntu anyway

Well when the CD started it gave me an option to upgrade my existing 
Ubuntu , I chose that the Upgrade was sucessful
and most of my apps are still there and work.

Initially I was concerned there was no Classic Gnome as I wanted 
multiple desktops

Then I re-read an old email I got from this list and installed Compiz 
Config Setup Manager
and set up 9 desktops on a 3X3 matrix this time it worked and it 
persisted the setting so I now have enough desktops

Now using Ctrl Alt and the cursors I can navigate to the 9 desktops.
My requirements from Unity have at last being met

I am not going to install screen savers as that is how I smashed my 
previous Ubuntu

I hope one day the Unity chaps will add Screen-savers to their System 
Settings  till then I will do without I dont want to destroy this 
installation as I did the previous

I also like how they have "camellionized" the Dash Home
*Now I look forward to hosting the next Ubuntu Launch Party in Pretoria 
again see you there
*
This time its not going to be in Randburg as we were disappointed  when 
we gave the Randburg chaps a chance last time and we go no launch party 
for that privilege.

Kind regards
