Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal Released

April 28, 2011, 15:15(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I downloaded this is morning and installed it in Virtualbox.
I have to say I just don’t care for it. I’m a KDE user. I don’t like Gnome and the new Unity desktop isn’t any help. To me it is as nasty looking as it’s namesake. It’s just personal preference I guess. Maybe I just need time to get used to it. I’ve not had time to mess with Kubuntu. Anywho, here are the links:
