Hi,
long time coming - but I thought I better write something..

Summary:
a fresh install of 12.04 was worth the hassle. I like it.
That should be enough to elicit 1 or more responses
Cheers,
Derek.
Interested in your appraisal and thank you.
I found it even faster with the xfce Desktop, which I find works better
for me.

Hi, thanks Derek and Chris for these reports.
xfce - Xubuntu works well at install, but didn't update nicely last time
I tried: new Gnome packages seemed to always muck up xfce. Is it
updating properly now?
Being a Gnome-Classic fan, I had been using 10.10 as my work platform,
while maintaining an upgrade partition to keep up with Unity until I
felt ready to trust and rely on it. So the timing couldn't have been
tighter with 10.10 expiring just as 12.04 came out. But with 12.04 came
relief, as the 'Gnome-Classic' in 12.04 (a cut-down version really) I
have found finally up to task. Although, as it did for Derek,
satisfaction only came with a fresh install of 12.04. The reason being,
through the test-installs of Unity and its Gnome-Classic option, the
multi-workspace settings got borked and unusable / tangled with Compiz.
A fresh install quickly solved that and I am happy enough with 12.04
now. The one thing missing is the session-save facility that used
to reopen most apps on the workspace they had, at restart time. Maybe
they'll reinstate that functionality yet.
Oh, and when they resupply a theme with the window control buttons in
the top right corner I'll be really happy!
Cheers
Rik
