[LUAU] Precise Pangolin is looking good

[Julian Yap]

I've been a long time desktop Linux user but the recent Gnome3 and Unity has soured my hopes of the future.

I still run Fedora 16 on of my work PCs but I switched it to Gnome 3 fallback mode (kind of like Gnome 2 but crappy).

The argument with Linux is 'just install x desktop' but the problem is if you don't have sane and usable defaults from the outset you're already off to bad start with users.

Hi all!

    Ubuntu's latest long-term-support release, 12.04, is only in beta
1, but it seems to be very polished already.  I tried the previous
alpha, and had install problems.  I'll probably even use it for a
production box, unless I find any problems.

    As many others have said, the ClassicMenu Indicator package tames
the Unity madness by bringing back the application menu.  Without this
one addon, I wouldn't be able to stand the Unity UI.

Aloha,
-Jeff Mings
