Things I did after installing Xubuntu 11.10

Yeah, I am riding the bandwagon on this one… However, this time around some things were a bit more hard this time around, primarily installing Sun java.

Xubuntu 11.04 – My impressions

So, after I absolutely hated Ubuntu and Unity with 11.04, I wanted to get something familiar (which means anything from Ubuntu to OpenSuSE to Arch Linux and some in between by this stage), I went to look at the other spins of Ubuntu. Kubuntu is really not for me, especially since there are other distributions that do KDE so much better than Kubuntu in my opinion. Any of the *box’es are out of the question as well, cause they, to me, feel archaic. LXDE might have worked, but after looking in to Xubuntu I decided to have a go at it. And my instinct was not wrong.

Ubuntu 11.04… Ehh, no, make that Xubuntu 11.04 pls

So Ubuntu 11.04 was finally released this weekend, with the much anticipated (or dreaded) implementation on Unity instead of GNOME as the desktop shell. Well, I was at least anticipating this one, hoping that Unity would be a breath of fresh air in an otherwise slow moving GNOME development (and I did not like how GNOME 3 is looking either, seems like they are heading the same way as KDE4). Well, I was wrong, I absolutely hated Unity!
