Description:
|
"The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 11.04, code-named 'Natty Narwhal'. 11.04 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. For PC users, Ubuntu 11.04 supports laptops, desktops and netbooks with a unified look and feel based on a new desktop shell called 'Unity'. This version supersedes Ubuntu Netbook Edition for all PC netbooks. Developer reference images are provided for select Texas Instruments (TI) ARM platforms, specifically the 'PandaBoard' and 'BeagleBoard'. Ubuntu Server 11.04 has made it easier to provision servers, and reduce power consumption."

Trashes system if upgraded from 10.10
|
I upgraded from 10.10 (as suggested by Software Update) and that was the beginning of my misery. On rebooting I got the Black screen of death. Later I realized that if let it be for a while it eventually boots up. Once in, I came face to face with Unity and now am loath to use Ubuntu 11.04.

none for me so far
|
This is my first experience with Linux and I love it--especially not having to worry about malware-virus stuff as much. It runs fine on my laptop-with 2GB ram. I am not interested in being a Linux guru and could really careless about using a terminal. I am into GUI and it is great in Unity. Then again, I really don't have anything to compare it to except my Win Pro machine. I want to edit photos, surf, write and play with progs--all which it does very well in my book. Got to love free also.

lots of shiny bells and whistles that waste CPU resources. lack of options for desktop. mostly my wifi drivers disappear, making my laptop a hard to carry solitaire game. wouldn't feed this narwhal to satan's dog. sticking to 10.04 & 10.10, til i research and choose a new distro, probably debian.
