[olug] On topicish

[Mikey]

I've been using the MATE desktop on my Ubuntu system for the last 2 months
and definitely prefer this desktop to the Unity that comes with Ubuntu.
However, there have been some minor hiccups with the MATE service
temporarily stopping periodically, audio driver doesn't work unless I do a
system test, and then it works beautifully. Other than that, I have enjoyed
using the MATE desktop as my prefered Linux GUI.

Just my $.02 cents worth......
