Ubuntu 11.04 installation process

Sun Apr 24 17:32:39 UTC 2011

@Toulan: let me guess, is it over VBox? if so then try to re-install while
in box-mode and no extra display preference...

@Angie: Gnome 2, for my production pc. But if I have to choose between 3 and
Unity then I'd choose "Gnome 3", Unity is still way behind from being so
special for me.
