Two Ubuntu Things

[zvi]

the Power User's Guide to Unity aggregates a LOT of tutorials. It makes me feel more hopeful, although I think I may not install 11.04 until, like, July

Ubuntu UK Podcast by the UK Loco is a lively and amusing discussion by people who dance on the line between power users and developers. They are in mid-season 3, and I highly recommend them.

Ah, well timed. I'm going to have a good look at that first link.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Unity, but I can't type the word without hearing those Word From Unity bits that used to be on TV.

I want Libre Office and to try the new Music player--the one I've been using is buggy--so I might be brave and try 11.04 right away. I have one panel app I don't want to lose though. The tough decision will be 11.11, when you won't be able to revert to Gnome if you want to.

I am not going to be surprised if my nVidia graphics (integrated, not on a video card) will not quite be up to the task for much longer. Dammit, why won't my $350 computer last forever?

What's the 'word on the street' about Unity stability? Brief looking around suggested that it was a bit, uh, undercooked.
