I used it for about 6 months. my machine crashed and i had to hard power off, after that some files were size 0 no matter what i did. recreating any files in any part of the filesystem with the same name will make them size 0 in about 1 min or if you run "sync". Like pointed out by somebody else, there is NO fsck and therefore you should not use this for anything other than playing around ;)

... And especially the comments. In my opinion they should go back to Gnome 3 and make that better (better and faster than gnome 2). I've stopped installing Ubuntu in friends and family PCs because of this mess. I tried Unity for a month and I had to bite my fingers to avoid uninstalling Linux altogether! Then I went to Gnome 3 and although not perfect, I like it much more.

Unity is now the default Ubuntu desktop session. The Unity launcher has many new features, including drag and drop re-ordering of launcher icons, full keyboard navigation support, launcher activation through keyboard shortcuts, right-click context menu quick-list and switching between running applications.

The Ubuntu One control panel now allows selective syncing, and the launcher icon now displays sync progress. File syncing speed has been improved as well.

The Ubuntu Software Center now allows users to "rate & review" installed applications, share reviews via integration with social networking services added into Gwibber, and has other usability improvements.

GNOME programs now use a new scrollbar which takes less screen space."

Personally, I do not like the idea of .gov sites using addthis.com to add/manage content to their site. There are plenty of scenarios where this can be abused by third party sites (see addthis.com "partners" page).

FCC.gov's privacy page does not clearly mention this, nor does it provide links to opt-out from advertising networks (yes, I know, another cookie to opt you out, but something is better than nothing: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
(yes, I submitted this information to them as well)

It is a noble effort to modernize things. I just hope they approach this with caution.

He who lives without folly is less wise than he believes.
