Indeed... the real shame is that Unity was stopped... it was by far
the best DE I've used over the years (except for maybe old-school
WindowMaker back in the day).

Title:
  None of the slides in Ubiquity give ANY info on how to actually USE
  Unity

Status in ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I'm doing a desktop install test of Natty and was looking through the
  slide show and I realized that there is not a single slide warning
  users that they're about to be faced with a desktop system that no one
  has ever really used before.

  Unity on netbooks doesn't really count as I think this impacts a far
  greater number of first time users and will make for a rather
  unpleasant experience.

  Honestly, I've been using Ubuntu for years and even I have a hard time
  using Unity.  I can't even being to imagine what a new user or
  unseasoned user will think when presented with Unity for the first
  time with no warning or introduction.

  There really should be at least 3 or 4 slides introducing Unity and
  giving basic usage instructions.  At least enough to get the users
  going once they finish installing and realise that they no longer have
  the menu structure and UI format that they are most likely used to.

  Any chance we can get some extra slides in there?
