I'm using 11.04 for prototyping in a virtual machine. IT would have one big hissy fit if anyone suggested using it in production.

I use Ubuntu for home and just upgraded to Natty this morning. As always, am extremely pleased with it!

only for private usage at home. however i avoid updates bcoz it force x-server driver for my 2nd nvidia card. so i need to reconfigure after every update again and again to get the gpu running. i am too lazy for that.

Why not just script it to automatically happen on update or just block the update?
