[Klug-general] Is anyone using Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) yet?

[Andrew Spode Miller]

I agree - It feels like Ubuntu is trying to chase MacOS quite firmly.

I'm not a big fan of Unity at all - on a Netbook or a Desktop. When I
tried the 11.04 CD, it gave me an option of switching back to Gnome
though, which was good.
