I have been wanting to try out Unity, but I don't want to install Ubuntu/Mint Main. Does anybody have any feedback on installing Unity on LMDE? I remember on Ubuntu it caused some problems with the GNOME desktop, and I don't want to go through any problems for the sake of trying a new UI.
How would I go about installing Unity alongside GNOME?

what do you think about installing it in a VM?
but you can also install the unity package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/unity
my to cents to unity... it looks like a playground for kiddys... but each to their own.

It is interesting the way we create complex and powerful tools to save us
from the complex and powerful tools we created previously.

Not going to work in a VM; it's running on Mutter, not Compiz/Metacity which is unsupported on Virtualbox and other VMs.

I left Ubuntu because of Unity (among other things).
It's horrible on my Eee, worse on a desktop or laptop.
