Many folks[*That have a comfort zone with Gnome 2.X*] will stick to Fedora 14 till they can adapt to GNOME 3 or move on to other desktops.

Therefore, I really reject the idea of having to waste time learning GNOME3, which by design will never do what I want because it is designed from the bottom up with the top priority being keeping dumb users from hurting themselves rather than letting competent users be productive. What a shame, after making GNOME2 so good, instead of make GNOME3 more powerful, they decided to make it "child safe" instead. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
