Hence, you see 490 MB, etc. It includes the buffer as well.

I recently started Unity and still exploring it's features and not an expert in the subject to make a document. Definitely Ubuntu should come up with some guide sort of thing explaining each and every feature of Unity interface.Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-30567715548652487202013-04-09T23:14:22.957-07:002013-04-09T23:14:22.957-07:00The thing is as a new user, you have no clue what ...The thing is as a new user, you have no clue what Unity can do, except as a start menu. There are no tutorials, no popups to integrate with social services and etc, and potential gets wasted away and frankly only adds something that does the same as older gnome interface.<br /><br />When the system becomes "smart" and starts interacting with you into integration, it will become great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-40196480312597424632013-03-31T20:52:36.197-07:002013-03-31T20:52:36.197-07:00Eduard,

That with the exception of games using OpenGL (where Linux is still trailing Mac and Windows), or some less mainstream video cards (where Linux is again behind). Old XP and W2003 would take twice as long as Linux to boot or shut down.

The widest variety of applications are in fact available in Ubuntu platform among all the Linux distros. Secondly, having used almost all desktop versions, viz. e17, XFCE, LXDE, Gnome, KDE, etc. my preference too is for XFCE as it blends perfectly low resource usage with functionality.Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-53004563458998994812013-03-13T16:45:38.617-07:002013-03-13T16:45:38.617-07:00Hi Arindam,

Very interesting, informative and very enjoyable.

It is very important for Linux that Ubuntu gets the Unity thing right.
