    Ubuntu has Unity which is its own DE. Gnome 3 is different; it's currently the default DE on Fedora.

    Personally, I vastly prefer Unity over Mountain Lion.

    You're not incorrect.

    My experience has also been that UNIX utilities are better documented on Linux than OS X.

    Oh yeah, they've carried S&Ws for as long as I can remember. Still a hell of a deal any way you slice it. The officers I've talked to here really didn't like the 4586s, so it was a step up for them.
