   Gnome and hence Fedora 15 have eliminated Gnome-2. You must now
choose one of the alternate shells.

   KDE -	 modern, configurable, generally works well.

   LXDE / XFCE - lightweight similar to gnome 2 / configurable

   Gnome Shell - a tablet/phone like window system - won't run without
decent 3D support - if 3D graphics not available it drops down to
simpler interface. For some reason its the default DE on F15 even if not
on a tablet PC.

  Choose one - go with whatever suits your taste - Gnome 2 has been
retired so its no longer an option.

  Have fun!
