[ubuntu-za] 11.04 like Windoooze

[ubuntupunk at gmail.com]

If you have Compiz problems like me, then there is one answer. Natty  
appears to have been released with an unstable Compiz, the stable version  
according to the Compiz website is 0.8.6, however Natty has Compiz 0.9.4.0.

Then there is the kernel 2.6.38-8-generic. Which is ahead of the kernel.org  
which lists 2.6.38-5 as the latest stable kernel.

The price of making Mark Shuttleworth's great big leap forward is we break  
our systems, and then have to spend hours fixing the bugs, merely so that  
somebody can show off the result at Google Code.

I can't complain because I've had a pleasant six months with Maverick which  
after initial problems with Plymouth has been a dream.

So I guess Natty comes with a ton of caveats and warning - this is a major  
departure for an Ubuntu release. Install at your peril. Whether having the  
option of a couple of lenses in Unity is worth the effort, only time can  
tell. Right now, I'ma bit dysfunctional because I forced to use Metacity.  
The artifacts in Unity are too many and I need to get work done. Mad Tux is  
all I can say. :)

PS: Some people's lives would have no meaning if there were no bugs left.  
So Mark puts them back in for good measure. Natty is HIGH BUG LOAD.
