Today's GNOME3 funny

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I was looking at gnome3.org today, and their FAQ says that "The traditional 
GNOME 2 desktop will not disappear overnight, however: releases of GNOME 2 will 
continue to be supported by distributions for years to come." so clearly they 
don't imagine everyone will drop all their software and retrain all their users 
overnight.

Ubuntu doesn't see to have that thought, either.

I was looking for a way to run fc15 in a VM, which worked in the alpha and 
hasn't (for me) since. The FAQ says that's the case, no VM has a powerful enough 
video emulation to handle the worthless eye candy. The Virtualbox people say 
much the same, but their spin is that the video could do the job but GNOME 
insisted on using some direct to hardware stuff they don't off. I freely admit I 
didn't spend a lot of time deciding anything other than both of them imply the 
fault is with the other.

My fc13 machines are moving to RHEL6.0 or a similar distribution, I'll be able 
to keep them secure for a while and see which way the wind blows.
