Ubuntu is basically for non-geeks - Windows users are taking to it 
amazingly well when some of us hold their hand.  There are a lot of 
helpful keyboard shortcuts built in to Unity.  Press and hold the Super 
(formerly known as windows) key to see them if you haven't found that 
yet.  The Ubuntu folk are really overwhelmed  just now following the new 
release.  Folk like me who have been using it for months are trying our 
best to talk others through the differences.  The answer is 
DONTHAVETIMETOFIX yet ....  Patience.  12.04 is the best thing since 
sliced bread?  No, best thing since mousetraps.  It is not 'Unity 
only'.  Unity is the default.  Other desktops can easily be installed, 
and other releases of *buntu offer different desktops ....

Regards,        Barry.
