Ubuntu 11.10 (So Far) Screenshot Tour | jonobacon@home

This is a great write-up on the progress of Ubuntu 11.10 and specifically, Ubuntu 11.10 beta1 in this screenshot tour.

I'm actually interested in Unity for the first time since trying it in the pre-releases of Ubuntu 11.04 and finding it to be completely foreign in concept and not release ready with lots of missing functionality needed for every day use.

The second release of Unity looks to be gaining a lot of that missing functionality and polish and I am definitely going to give it a solid try by installing 11.10 on my primary desktop system and using it every day for work. Maybe I'll post something to follow up on my experience with it.

Hooray for progress!

Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994.  Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience.  Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now.  Well, sorta.  This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware.  Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
