I am going through similar issues with Ubuntu 11.04.  Libreoffice is nice,
but Unity isn't doing it for me on the Ubuntu end.  I want to try Gnome 3 to
see how it is, but my only other machine that I have that might support that
is a Macbook Pro.  Unfortunately, Virtualbox doesn't seem to have what it
takes to support Gnome3.  A good option is to get Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.04.
 My limited research seems to head in the
million-headaches-to-suffer-through direction.  There is too much other work
to be done right now for that.  It'll be far easier to swap in a new hard
drive in the new Toshiba and install Fedora, despite my dislike for RPM.
 Does still have the 10 CDs or 2 DVDs download?  Since when did things
become so....complicated?  My grandfather would probably start giving his
speech about too many cooks in the kitchen right about now.
