Log into "Ubuntu Classic" instead of regular Ubuntu.
That's like a temporary fix that's not going to stay there forever. It's probably one of those "transition" things that will go away next version or the one following that...
What would stop you from installing gnome-desktop package or running kubuntu in the future? One of the main benefits of Linux is that no matter what the default is you can always change it to anything you want.
Nothing at all, I was merely commenting I don't like the default, Unity, out of the box desktop. Anything overly wrong with that?

That was one of my biggest issues with it honestly. I used it for a while on my old old laptop, then I decided to put my money where my mouth is and ordered a Dell that came with it preinstalled. It was all fine and good until the next update broke the fingerprint reader and it took some Googling to get it back. The next one broke it again and promised that ability built into gnome except that it never worked. At that point I was getting a bit annoyed at the upgrade schedule that for one is entirely too quick (have to change custom stuff every 6 months if you want to keep up to date? Really?) and also kept breaking things.started off with Ubuntu but after a year experimented with Arch Linux, then it became permanent. There's just so much more freedom with Arch, pacman is great, and the rolling release update model means I don't need to do a clean install every 6 months.
Aye. The Arch rolling release is that. You could even install from a CD-R made from 2005. Just do aThat was one of my biggest issues with it honestly.

I would prefer BSD style upgrades, you install BSD and then you just sync your system to latest available (or latest stable) version in the ports so you are never upgrading the entire system just specific software, which of course at some point will be the kernel and OS itself.
sudo pacman -Syu

I'm looking for a Linux Utility that lets me see the differences between 2 folders. Here is the situation: My Harddisk started to go (read erros), so I made a backup and now I want to compare my 2 week old backup with the one I just made, and see which files have been added and modified.
You could also use rsync to do automatic backups of updates
Get a ubuntu CD. If you installed debian amd64, get that one, otherwise get the i286 one. The architectures have to match.I am stuck in GRUB hell.
Installed Debian yesterday and couldn?t get to the GRUB menu, but at least fixing the MBR using Windows 7?s recovery tool brought my desktop back.
Any ideas?
