They need to delay the last final release is very buggy

oh its awful. I'm tempted to drop back a version, having lots of issues with it on my laptop. Earlier today I couldn't close windows I had open, very strange. I really don't like all this unity stuff either. Why can't we just stay with actually having desktops.

Sam you really need to try Linux mint
Its based on ubuntu but with fixes and a few extras

Ive been running Mint 10 Julia since it came out and it is so much better than ubuntu


Mint 11 still has ubuntu 11 bugs so far so I would do 10

see other thread :p

I'll boot it on a usb disk to try it out at some point this week, well once I'm not running around like a headless chicken.

Good enough

Id put it on a dvd then if you want to install all the extras are there

nah I'll just boot the DVD image off a disk drive - I'm sure I can do that. Actually I might have a blank DVD somewhere...
