Quite agree. To be honest it's been a long time since Linux was a hobby,
and I rely 100% on a working machine to keep the lights on and the kids
fed.

Me neither, although I had my laptop HDD drop dead the other day and it
wasn't *too* painful working off the live CD while it restored.

I was getting there, but since I worked out how to get the menus back
back at the top of the window (not the top of the screen), re-gained
focus-follows-mouse and I'm much happier now.

I'm not terribly impressed with the performance though, and Unity
doesn't seem like a step forward at all. Long live Gnome 2 IMO.
