            includes a major
            upgrade to Nautilus and they have removed lots of useful
            stuff (not
            the Ubuntu developers, the Nautilus developers) so it may
            no longer be
            there or may have moved.  Have a look.

        Not intending to troll, but Linux Mint's Nemo file manager is
        like a breath
        of old, familiar air. These devs are busy restoring
        functionality from
        Gnome 2's nautilus. I've used it for 2 months now and do not
        miss Nautilus
        at all.

        It should be easy to install in stock Ubuntu if you prefer Unity.

    You know, I spend so much time telling the world how great Ubuntu
    is. It would probably do me the world of good to look at some of
    the alternatives every once in a while! Trouble is I don't have a
    spare machine to try them on right now.

That's where VirtualBox comes in handy (yes, KVM is open source and the supported virtualisation solution but it doesn't work that well with desktops in my experience).

Please see my posts on 'Ubuntu is unusably slow'. My poor pathetic laptop can't even handle playing music while I read the OMGUbuntu website!!!
