Comments on The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) (With The Ubuntu Classic Desktop)

This tutorial shows how you can set up an Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

Pinguy and Zeven are already configured out of the box for this, Zeven even has pre-configured settings to look like Windows. Picasa may need to be added, otherwise all codecs are included.

Unity-2D is an option for the graphics impaired systems. It also works inside virtual machines. 11.04 required. $ sudo apt-get install unity-2d In my testing, almost everything works the same as in the 3D version of Unity, just without all the 3D accel "cheese." If you are on 10.10, there is a PPA for this too. I've not tried that.
