Canonical is releasing its Ubuntu 11.04 suite of corporate and developer desktops and servers — aka “Natty Narwhal” — on April 28. New features include a technology preview for Ubuntu Server 11.04, which is downloadable through the Ubuntu software repositories. Ubuntu 11.04 for the corporate desktop includes the Unity interface, which debuted last year in Ubuntu 10.10, geared for netbooks. However, with Ubuntu 11.04, users can opt to stay with the “classic” interface. Unity will be the interface in the next long-term support release, however, scheduled for April 2012.
I didn't like the 10.10 version of Unity. It was slooow and buggy. I almost gave up on it entirely. However, the Natty Narwhal won me over. I totally dig Unity. Even Unity 2D is very fast and stable. I've had no problems with it. My only wish is that the 2D version side launcher would autohide like it's Compiz Unity big brother.
