Hi :) I really quite like the 11.10. When i tried the 11.04 i really hated it but the 11.10 is a big improvement. I still prefer traditional menus such as KDE or Gnome or any of the others but i get the feeling Unity is worth getting to know. I like the way the top-taskbar becomes the title-bar when you hover the mouse arrow over it and i really like the way that accessing LibreOffice and Firefox is so easy! ;) Regards from Tom :)
