HI Chuck,

I do like the experience with Ubuntu 10.04, Gnome 2, and the setup I 
described. My understanding is that, if I upgrade to the new version, I 
lose that experience in favor of a forced changed to Unity, etc. That's 
what I have a problem with.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
