philipballewchute, hoes unity workin?01:51
chutephilipballew: installed unity in dual boot with 10.04 Gnome2, both sharing the same /home partition. After a few theme tweaks both versions seem to work.02:27
philipballewthere just different. i guess one is not better then another02:28
chutedid the updates and installed some apps, including synaptic. Synaptic and gparted do not migrate their menu to the top panel, I noticed.02:29
philipballewperfection by 12.0402:30
philipballewI see potential02:30
chutewith unity, including unity2, the system seems to react slower - the UI I mean. I will use it for a week or two just to get the hang of it. I prefer Unity to Gnome-shell (?). Gnome shell seems half of Gnome2 and Unity.02:32
chuteHaving used an LTS for the last year and a half, this version seems much less stable though. Had a hang during the 1st HD install at the keyboard selection screen.02:34
chuteBut I can see the potential too. Missing the fine tuning for the moment, but that is certainly because of me not knowing where the wisles and bells are.02:36
chuteI will certainly keep you informed of my learning curve :) - BTW, connect to server works perfectly - thanks again.02:37
chuteSorry I missed your presentation - read if afterwards - very interesting and true. Time for a snooze here - more unity tomorrow - bye for now.02:40
philipballewbye bye!02:46
