I tend to agree with Linus.  I upgraded some computers to Ubuntu 11.10, 
and am no longer using Unity on any of them.  I have one running Gnome 
3.2 with the gnome-tweak-tool and another with gnome-session-fallback, 
and while neither suits me as well as Gnome 2 in Ubuntu 10.10, I can 
live with them in anticipation of everything being fixed in Ubuntu 12.04.

--Bob.
