I wish I could make an intelligent sounding comment about what you guys are
talking about but I constantly find myself stumped with all the types of
interfaces, if that's what they're called. Unity, gnome, xfce, etc. I'm so
illiterate with these terms that I have no idea of what looks like what. I
do know I have the newest release for ubuntu: 12.04 lts. There were some
initial things I didn't like but I've become accustomed to those things and
don't mind them so much now. I'm not good at knowing how to modify what's
already in place because one, I don't know how and secondly, if I tried, I
fear screwing everything up but that isn't a bad thing since I could just
reinstall everything. If I knew more about coding and modifying, id be able
to comment better but so far I like 12.04 lts on my laptop. Except that I
keep getting the password prompt for the keyring for some software. I need
to reinstall my os to see if that goes away.
