Kilosty nlsthzn 09:53
Kilosgrr09:53
Kiloslol09:53
Kilosi'm looking for escape routes in case unity doesnt like me09:54
nlsthznthere is a unity 2d available that is the backup if 3d doesn't work...09:54
Kilosoh that might do it09:55
Kilosmaybe its better to follow the trend. i wouldnt like to stop my ubuntu experience here on maverick much as i like it09:55
Kilosi stiil have to go show and convince my daughter ubuntu is better than win09:56
Kilosgonna be hard work as she uses all win friendly software for her drawings etc09:57
nlsthznKilos: just keep in mind that depending on what she is doing Ubuntu may not be the best thing for her to use... one size usually fits almost no one :)10:09
Kiloslol10:09
Kilosyeah but i will try10:09
Kiloslo MPD 10:10
nlsthznKilos: just remember that even though the interface changes the applications remain basically the same... 10:11
Kilosthen i am sure i will get used to it or go kde with the fly and others10:11
Kilosnot go with the fly but join them kde peeps10:13
Kilosthen they will not have to think so much when i need help10:15
