The New Look - Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocolet: What is your view on this New Version? What are the major Changes?

I like it but visually it's minimally changed. The unity button is now on the dock. Ok. The lockscreen is cool too, I would definitely recommend 11.10

I like it, but i don't think i am ready to make it my default Ubuntu version yet. I am not a big fan of the Unity, and i don't like how they did not include Gnome in the 11.10 version (But they did include it in the 11.04 version)

Here are the major changes with this version:

Ubuntu is just about the worst Linux distro. available these days. Canonical who produce Ubuntu have become arrogant and ignored users needs however well voiced across the many Forums that make reference to Ubuntu. For example Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't offer the classic GNOME Desktop and it doesn't include the Synaptic Package Manager despite the fact many users did not want these changes. I used to have much time for Ubuntu starting with Ubuntu 6.10 finishing with the last decent release which was Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

The Linux Mint team have now tamed Pure Debian to the extent that its as easy to use as the Standard Ubuntu based Edition. It would seem Linux Mint Debian Edition is the way forward for the distro. however for the time being it would seem the two will coexist

I am currently Dual Booting Linux Mint 11 and Linux Mint Debian Edition therefore I can carry out a direct comparison and I have concluded Linux Mint 11 will be the last Ubuntu based release I shall be working with.

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled.
