Nice link and article :)

Since I'm in high energy/nuclear physics I probably should use it. We use
RHEL 5/6 at the university, but I can't stand the restrictions of not
having root access to the computer I'm working on, so I reinstalled my
office PC with Ubuntu 11.04. At home I just recently installed 11.10, and
I'm getting used to Unity. It is not so bad really. Only thing that annoys
me about it is that the unity bar is non-moveable and it sits on the left
side of my left monitor, far out of view.

I have been recommended using Mint, and I may try it out on my laptop. I
need a working installation for my next trip to the US to work on my code.
Right now it's running Ubuntu 12.04 beta, and I don't quite trust it.
