Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
The design direction of Ubuntu
is not agreeing with my stomach.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 64Bit now with classic gnome 2.3.
I absolutely hate Unity desktop and Gnome 3 about the same.
Force feeding a terribly designed desktop environment
is a terrible policy and does not go well with the original values of 
Ubuntu.

I think many have left Ubuntu for other distrobutions.
Just wondering what other people use and recommend.

Thanks!
