Ubuntu Hour - Toronto

[Abby Bassie-Cripps]

Hi Aruna

I understand the sentimental idea. I have friends on this list that love Centos as much as I love Ubuntu. Yes, it is mostly based on what we start of with. We all put so much time into learning that first version. Yes, I loved the gnome2 as well. But I am sure the latest will get better. All OS do eventually improve.

I will have to check out Awesome as soon as I can. I was not aware of that one ontil now. Thanks!

Abby

We do not need to use a windows wanna be look alike. I got rid of my Unity, but still have ubuntu 12.04.
Abby, I have Cinnaman, KDE, LXDE, Xfce, and am testing and exploring Awesome http://awesome.naquadah.org/  which is really good the way it tiles and stacks the windows but I guess it must be sentimental since I cut my teeth on Karmic I still feel very attached to that classic gnome2. Guess I will compile my own kernel like Jamon suggested one of these days with exactly what I need and want then no more komplaints :-)
