Sabily 11.04 Badr Beta - Gnome2 and Unity Session

In this post I will show default session for Sabily 11.04 Badr Beta which is gnome2 and then I change to Unity session. For Ubuntu 11.04 Beta, their default session is Unity. Maybe due to some software and driver issue, Sabily make gnome2 their default session. You can change the session to Unity after log out. I think soon they will include gnome3 too.

Here some screenshot of Sabily 11.04 Badr Beta after completed installation.

01. Default session to gnome2 with Minbar application start as previous released.

02. New wallpaper for Badr.

03. Islamic software inside Badr. Zakat Calc RC is new Islamic software that included.

04. LibreOffice also new software that replace OpenOffice.

05. Log out and login to Unity session.

06. Applications view on Unity session.

07. Firefox 4.0 running in Unity session.

08. Zekr application running in Unity session. It works well.

09. Nanny application running in Unity session. Works well too.

10. Application for System view in Unity.
