Just lost my Ubuntu 13.04 system because I rebooted it in order to get a kernel update (it was still on 3.5.0.28).
The kernel got updated to 3.8.0.18, but Unity/Compiz broke down and I was left with an unworkable system (at first no launcher, no menu; later a plain black screen and no tty terminals anymore).
Tomorrow I will rebuild a DVD-drive into the system in order to get a fresh install of Raring Ringtail (at the moment I'm becoming a Ranting Ringtail)
Meanwhile Xubuntu 13.04 and Lubuntu 13.04 are doing just fine -not having to bother with Unity-, as are my Windows 7 & 8 systems.
