[olug] Heart attack after 11.04 upgrade

[Joseph Gulizia]

Ubuntu 11.04 went to Unity as its default.  Icons on the side.  I heard it
described as "more Mac-like".  I use it at work on the desktop and it takes
some getting used to.  On the home machine it couldn't upgrade to it so I'm
using Gnome still.  Not that difficult to switch between the two IMO.
