I am staying with 10.04 lts for now. Can you have multiple desktop environments on the same machine with Natty? i.e. I usually have kde, gnome, and a light desktop installed. You choose which desktop environment at login time.
My upgrade did not go as well as yours, I tried to install kubuntu 11.04 and it hung when installing the video. I am going back to 10.10. I have an old built in video at 64 meg and I guess the newer kde either requires more or the driver is different. I guess I will have to invest in a video card.
Further to the upgrade to Maverick, every time I boot my computer, when the grub is loading, I get a syntax error
command not found error. It is harmless because the computer boots normally except adding about 15 seconds to boot time. I have tried upgrading and updating the grub nut the error stays. I guess I shall live with it.
I also dreaded command line and the use of terminal. But once you start learning, you realize how invaluable it becomes. I think using commands should be taught as part of computing courses at school.
I found it OK up until the point where they dismissed the command line as irrelevant. Promoting use of the command line is my favourite cause at the moment. There is no other tool that is as powerful and versatile.
