Thanks for everyone who left me FF tips! I was quite confused because FF4 was supposed to have the tab bar on top by default but it wasn't showing up that way no matter what I did with the settings, but apparently it was an Ubuntu Is In Beta, Guys issue, and it resolved itself after reboot, although the native skin is still showing a little glitch (an extra rounded top corner on top of the tab bar that intervenes between the tab and title bars), which I assume will vanish soon. While Natty is quite stable on my system, I'm still planning to try out Gnome 3 for the lulz.

Also, I don't want to give the impression that I dislike the clueless noob teachers, even when they're accidentally showing their privilege! They've all been really nice to me and I feel really welcomed and appreciated and am having a great exciting time every day. I used to think I preferred pre-school aged children to work with, but now I've definitely noticed that I prefer second graders (8-9 yrs) to first graders and also to fifth graders.

If you get time/energy I would love to see a screenshot tour of Natty Narwhal or Gnome 3 - I love hearing different perspectives on it. (I'm on 10.10 and things are okay, but I generally like to keep up to date.)

Surely it's easy to see that at the main website? At least I was really excited by the Gnome3 screenshot tour. I tried to install the OpenSUSE final release today and the CD didn't boot on my system at all. Wax is going to try it on our 3rd comp soon and we'll see. Otherwise it will mean waiting &/or trying the Fedora version. Gnome 3 lets you reply to "messaging" (chat at least, but I wish it would do it for Twitter too: maybe? It isn't quite clear) right in the popup bubbles! And set a frequency for overall notification windows. And it has some sort of tiling for windows, apparently. :]
