    But the UBUNTU 11.04 has several bugs in windows management. I still prefer UBUNTU 10.10

    People have always used "technology" without understanding how it works. We take medicines without understanding how they help us relying on Doctors to sort those things out for us. We get drivers licenses to drive cars, but most of us are not qualified mechanics. I do not see why computers should be different. We will have "users" and "professionals".

    I agree with debguy, that irresponsible computer users does cause problems for the rest of us, but I think that would have to be solved from the end of the software developers. They need to come out with something that is less vulnerable.

    Yes, after moving to Fedora, I think Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 3 might have been a better idea. But I used Unity for about three months and it works well enough. Gnome 3 feels like it runs smoother and looks more polished.

    No, about 7-8 years ago I tried Mandrake and Red Hat... past seven months I have used Ubuntu... Lemme stick with Fedora for a bit, I just got here :)

    Sooner or later, I will probably try everything... while not a popular view, I really like Gnome 3, so I will be sticking with Fedora for a bit.
