The FEL LiveDVD is KDE based as you mentioned and there is no other means to load GNOME other than install the FEL LiveDVD, then do an "yum groupinstall GNOME Desktop Environment" Another solution might be if you are already running Fedora 10 , you can create your own gnome-based FEL livedvd. I have entailed the procedures here. http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/livedvd.html Only replace ( on the FEL kickstart file) %include fedora-livecd-kde.ks by fedora-livecd-desktop.ks after downloading this file: http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=blob_plain;f=fedora-livecd-desktop.ks;hb=HEAD All the FEL EDA tools are available for free download via yum, under the standard Fedora 10 release, as well. > > 2.

Compared to proprietary EDA environment, in the past the opensource EDA tools lacked interoperability. Though, we haven't reached the ideal case, we have brought forward numerous changes during the last 3 years in the opensource EDA tools (already accepted by upstream) to ensure that users are able to have at least the standard design flow. > I'm a analog/mixed signal(many years exp) IC designer based in the US and > would like to build a schematic,sim,layout,verify system test system.

At the Fedora Project, we do our best to ensure that the user will benefit from a smooth experience under different architectures. In addition to our multi-libs support, Fedora has a very good reputation on the x86_64 architecture: > Regards, > Paul Tomlinson > President > IC Design Services, Inc.
