Will Unity 10.04 work if Netbook Ed. didn't?

[Koffeehaus]

Hi,
I remember I tried to boot Ubuntu Netbook Edition LiveCD once, but I had a problem with 3D graphics, and a result I couldn't see the menu panels, etc.

So, I was wondering, will the same thing happen with Natty, since they are both Unity? Or will they improve support for graphics in 11.04?

Thanks,
Danny

11.04 has a fallback mode, if unity doesn't work, the old gnome2 interface will be used.

The two Unities are called the same, but they are, in fact, very different. The 10.10 Unity was based on Mutter, which is Gnome3's new window manager, whereas the 11.04 Unity is based on Compiz. That said, both require 3d, and if your graphics card can't handle it, neither will work.
