[LUG] Ubuntu and the price of Unity

 

http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Ubuntu-and-the-price-of-Unity-1156110.html

Canonical's decision to go with the Unity shell on GNOME may be a game
changer for Ubuntu, but it doesn't come without risk. Mark
Shuttleworth's declared aims are to unite design with free software.
He hopes to blur the line between the web and the desktop, to create
an intuitive Linux desktop that is a thing of beauty, and to make
Ubuntu and free software popular among the kinds of user who have
never heard of free software before.

... I have to say a don't like the look of unity too much; but it
certainly looks real easy for non-geeks. Which is probably a very good
thing when trying to increase Linux use within the general populous?
