It was Netbook Remix on my lil' AAO, I didn't get on with it at first,
but then discovered I used the netbook in a more simple fashion, not
often running more than one task at a time and it is easier to switch
tasks occasionally via key binds, than it was to constantly be
maximising or arranging windows on the small screen.

This new Unity interface smells like Gnome Shell too much, and boy does
Gnome Shell stink :]

I'll reserve judgement on Unity until I use it somewhat though.
