I installed ubuntu 11.10 32bit version, but found there were few things that did not as good as previous version, something like sound-too-low problem, cannot see text due to black background tooltip of default theme, and etc. So I spent quite a lot of time to fix those problem and setup environment.
1. Install advanced linux terminal: Terminator. It has split view, tabs and other advanced feature.
2. Install Adwaita theme to fix the tooltip problem, and it also fixed the same problem in autocomplete frame of eclipse.
3. To fix sound-too-low problem, enter “alsamixer” in linux terminal and adjust all volume to max. But remember don’t adjust the last two mic volume to max, otherwise, there will be harsh sound.
4. Install chrome, eclipse, vlc, Task Manager and etc.
