I have been working with computers and operating system before many on this list were even a twinkle in their fathers eye. When I was introduced to Linux (kernel 0.92), it pleased me that I could switch to a computer I didn't have to build myself. Also, I no longer had to run ZPM at home, and unix at work. Although I normally only update on even versions, because I don't mind change, I like some stability in my work. I upgraded my hardware about the time that F15 came out, so I decided that I would install f15 instead of f14. When I found that gnome did not run out of the box, I had to make a decision, to I want to go through a learning curve, or do I want to develop systems. If I wanted windoz, I would run windoz. I am hoping that when I get the time to upgrade my systems to F16, that the source for the old gnome will compile with it. If not, I will have to upgrade to one of the simple window system that just let me do my work. I know "opinions are like a part of our anatomy in that everyone has on", and I usually keep my opinions to myself, but GNOME3 is so different from 2 that it should have been forked as a new product, not put out as a revision. -- 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 Have a question?
