It sets us free. Suvayu, Yes, you are correct, I was not even able to install F15 on my first attempt. The memory limits were published incorrectly at that time. Latter the additional memory requirement was published, I put in some additional memory in the test machine I used, and got an install. However, I could not make gnome3 work until several updates. I finally released the machine for users, but everyone avoids using it. The complaints I get are related to having an 'intermittant white screen' that causes the desktop to be unresponsive requiring a reboot. I have not had the time, but my next step to salvage this piece of equipment is to use kde or one of the other gui's. gnome3 is another subject. I decided to install F15 on a laptop for my own use, and I actually like some of what gnome3 has done. The laptop is not as old as my test machine so things are functioning much better. I am still getting adjusted to it; my perception so far is that it looks elegant and pretty, but gnome3 is difficult to use in a way that achieves results quickly, and does not allow you to organize the desktop into an efficient structure.
