[HLUG] Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail Released

[Tim Spivey]

My main problem with Unity was it 'taking over' the keyboard. Ie when ever
I went to type a : in the browser or Libre Office, Unity would detect I had
pressed Shift and 9 and launch the ninth application in the launcher.
Thinking about it I am sure I could have disabled keyboard shortcuts but I
went with Xubuntu instead.
