Ubuntu Releases 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin
Ubuntu is more than Unity.<p>If you don't like or have trouble with Unity, try one of the other Ubuntu variants. I <i>love</i> lubuntu (lxde-based), it's just windows and a panel. Anything that gets between my windows and panel (like Unity) gets thrown over the side without even a wave goodbye. Lubuntu is what xubuntu once aspired to, lightweight and simple.<p>Here are all the ubuntu variants:<p><a href="http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/" rel="nofollow">http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/</a><p>What is Ubuntu? It's the "easy" Linux distro built on a highly curated version of the debian repository and their apt package system. Mainstream Ubuntu also has Unity. It has a large user base, and a large developer community. It's a nice place to be.<p>When Unity first hit my laptop, I went running to Mint, only to discover that they've made a search deal. I then looked at other debian-based distros, but I missed ubuntu's curated repository. While flirting with other debians, I discovered lxde, and then lubuntu. I'm there, for now.
