In-depth review of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal Final Release. Feel free to skip sections of the video using the chapter timings below:

0:18 - Installation (Dual boot & Slideshow)
5:28 - Pre-Installed Software
9:36 - Desktop & Unity Features (inc Compiz)
12:49 - Installing Software (few apps to try)
14:51 - Conclusion

This video is aimed more for people who are new to Ubuntu, but there is something here for everyone.
I show the Unity 3D Desktop Environment in action on a full system install and cover a verity of topics including:
1: Installation - Dual booting with Windows 7 and using the automated partitioning.
2: Look at Pre-Installed Software Canonical have included on the install disk, including LibreOffice 3.3, Firefox 4, Banshee Media Player, Ubuntu One, Software Centre, Puzzle Games, and a 3D shooter.
3: Fancy Desktop Features - Tutorial on setting up Compiz effects and Coloured Mouse Cursors
4: Installing Software and suggestions of a Few Applications to try: Chromium, Gimp image editor, Inkscape vector graphic, Openshot, Zaz and Sauerbraten.
5: Conclusion 85% - A nice modern desktop environment, very easy to use, but not necessarily for everyones taste. Next version of Ubuntu (11.10) should offer a more customisable version of Unity.

i installed ubuntu 11.4 it works amazingly except the keyboard gets disable during the ubuntu boot process and i have to use the onboard.....how can i fix it?

[quidsup]

@TheSkirmishes Sorry I've no idea why it would do that. I've known Ubuntu work fine with wired & wireless keyboards on both USB and PS/2. Try the Ubuntu Forums
