I audited Ubuntu 12 a couple of months ago, and seemed to see the new<br>
Gnome that treats desktops as though they were cellphones. I hated what<br>
I saw, and stuck with 10.04 LTS. That has become a software backwater<br>
with regard to packages like git, scratch <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://et.al/">et.al</a>.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to upgrade to 12.04 and keep my traditional desktop? Or<br>
should I just revert to Slackware times and do my own package installs?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Use cinnamon by MINT, it emulates the old gnome desktop pretty well.</div><div>I am using it and like it very much.</div>
