at this stage I only experimenting and at the
same time familiarising myself with (to me) an alien system, as I did
when swapping from dos to win3.1... linux seems like dos with windows
doesn`t it?? struggling with command lines again.

I`m interested in linux `cos it costs` nothing :) but more important
it`s supposed to be more secure tham micro$oft and it`s fun...

I would like to install gnome3 or unity because they seem quicker and
more complete than gnome 2.3 and have tried to download from conical
but it seems that gnome3 is unavailable :( ...oh well.. even tried
grabbing it off the 10.04 for netbook distro...might install 11.04 for
unity gui as it`s even better...
