I just re-kitted a broken system with a new mainboard and video.  I
installed a fresh Natty, expecting it to come up in Unity.  However,
it said my system did not support Unity and gave me gnome.  What's up
with that?

The mainboard runs 4-core AMD at 3.6 GHz, with 8 GB RAM.
Video card has 512MB cache.

What other specifics do I need to know to figure this out?


As a new moderator, what you need to do /first/ is figure out how to
post in this mailing list following the well-laid-out and very available
rules:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists

See this part:
----------
HTML mail

Avoid sending emails in HTML format, if possible. Some people may find
it more difficult to read or reply to these emails. Also, HTML email
takes up more space, so people with restricted Internet access will be
happier to receive plain text emails.

I composed this in gmail, as I do all mailing list traffic.  All I do
is type usually, and do not use the various formatting thingies that I
would expect to create HTML (hmmm, well I have on occasion created a
link, which might do that, but did not on the subject email).

I've never had a complaint about HTML, nor ever had cause to suspect i
was sending such. With gmail, I'm not exactly sure how to tell,
although I know how to turn all formatting off during composition.
Perhaps I'll have to make a habit of that, but I notice that when I do
that to this email, some links in your (Cybe R) message get flattened.
I'm not sure who the culprit is.

None of this has to do with being a moderator, as that job does *not*
involve sending any mail at all to the list. Nor do I moderate
anything based on presence or absence of markup.
