Hi All
Quick one for your opinions/advice:
I'm about to get a new laptop, which I'll be "upgrading" from ******* to Ubuntu. I want to get onto the 12.04 long term release, and wondered about the "cleanest" way to do so:
1. Install the 12.04 beta, and do my upgrades.
2. Install previous version and upgrade when it releases at the end of the month.
3. Install the previous LTR, and upgrade when 12.04 releases.
Other?
I'm actually using 10.10 at the moment, because I didn't really like Unity. I've read that 12.04 is likely to change all that. And that
sudo apt-get install xfce4-panel = 3
is a good idea to get a bit of control again. Call me old fashioned, but I like the applications, neatly organised into categories. But I'm sure I'll learn to adapt.
Thoughts on this?
Sorry for ramble. I was mainly asking my first question and then just got a bit carried away...
