What is a "design mockup"???

[3v1n0]

it's a prototype that the design team has done to show how the things should work on the future. But unfortunately implementation can't always match the design :(

is that 11.10?ubuntu thats awesome.

[3v1n0]

No, just a design mockup

Lack of good multi-monitor support has always been one of the top complaints I've heard leveraged against Unity. Hopefully this will take care of that and eliminate one more reason to look elsewhere.

I would just like something that switches workspaces per monitor. each workspace could be treated as a "virtual monitor", and any physical monitor could be switched between those.... eg if you had 4 desktops a,b,c,d and 2 screens, you could view a,b a,c b,d .. whatever. Of course this would work best with identical screensizes but it would probably be ok cropped.

Funny... we've tried single monitor setups with Unity, and found the whole thing to be so horrible that we migrated everything to Linux Mint.

[Aaron Tatum]

awesome!!

[Ádám Nagy]

12.04 now have multi-monitor support.

New unity is bad beacuse it doesn't hide when window is gonna overlap it. And if i use CompizConfig, auto hide doesn't work as i want

All Linux distribution have their own advantages, personaly, I use Ubuntu for one year and half now and I like a lot this OS, but I'm more a gamer than a person who use her PC for Internet, videos and other stuffs, so, I dualboot with Windows Seven for games. I think your forget that and I would remember it to you :) (don't take this words seriously, it's not nasty ^^)
