isn't Wayland just an experimental thing that will be in the repos for developers?

 

[AfricanTech]

Unity is not an easy interface to get to grips with - in all honesty, tried it on a netbook but it was so counter-intertuitive (a relative term I suppose but I found it very different from Gnome, Windows, and OSX) that I gave up and installed Mint instead...

Under the desktop Natty will also use a new graphics system for rendering visuals. The new Wayland graphics system will replace the ageing X Window system which is now decades old.

Not correct.

Wayland is scheduled to replace X, but not under Natty. The soonest it will replace X is under 11.10, possibly later.
