Available with Ubuntu 4.11 Unity and some problems

Yesterday was made available a new Linux distribution Ubuntu 4.11 "Natty Narwhal" pointing to the new Unity graphical desktop instead of GNOME (currently it is still possible, during installation, choose one of two). The choice of Canonical has been dictated by the simplicity and intuitive user interface Unity born to be primarily used on devices with touch screens and small, and have been using the Ubuntu Remix.
Ubuntu 4.11 also comes with the new office suite LiberOffice which replaces the best-known OpenOffice suite of Oracle. From the standpoint of performance, Ubuntu 4.11 should ensure reduced boot times, better video performance but, apparently, even higher consumption which would undermine the battery life.
