IMHO Precise "feels" faster. 11.10 was a disaster on my pc. Unity has come a long way and is much improved.
Just a little thank you kansasnoob for your tweaks. They helped prod this old geezer into running
man gsettings

gsettings help COMMAND

Back to the OP, one thing to look for is where the sata/ide ports are on any motherboards that you are looking at. Newer generations of video cards span the width of matx boards (some are longer). I...
Apport popups stopped after I updated today. The only thing I have had a problem with is lightdm flaking out after nvidia or xorg updates. A reboot usually takes care of it.
I'm highly impressed...

I think the change to an unpolished Unity chased off a lot of users. For me, it meant sticking with Lucid (and installing Xubuntu). The current popularity of Mint also bears...
