In the previous version I modified it in the advanced system settings by manually inputting the threshold and acceleration but I can no longer find that menu. </p> <p>Ideally...

<p>I wanted to ask if this was a feature or bug before I submitted a bug report. Before Unity/global menu, you could open bookmarks in a new tab by middle clicking or right click "open in new tab". In Natty, this opens the bookmark in the current tab only. Can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>I guess BURG will require more time to start, because it displays some eye-candy graphics. If I replaced GRUB with BURG, would the time required to boot into Ubuntu be significantly longer?</p>

That is, instead of the new system overwriting the old one, I'd like it to offer Ubuntu 10.04 as a start up choice, whether on the boot level or on the Ubuntu user-profile level. </p> <p>Any way to achieve this?</p>
