12.04

(click to install)

Configuration of Display Recent Apps and its counterpart Display Available Apps is now available directly via the GUI application MyUnity

The image shows the option turned off - you can click as shown to switch-on the Dash display of recent apps.

If you want to install unity 5.0 on 11.10:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-team/staging
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I have upgraded, works perfectly.
