GNOME is not the only release blocking desktop; KDE is one too. And not being 'release blocking' does not mean it doesn't actually *work*, it just means we don't delay a release if it has problems. All the commonly-used, non-release-blocking desktops - Xfce, LXDE, Cinnamon, MATE and Sugar - have worked reasonably well in recent releases. I do wish people would stop reading too much into things. "Not release blocking" means exactly that. > Did that zeitgeist lead to the demise of VMS? > > Fortunately there is a way to use Xfce on Fedora. > Install the GNOME based creative and development > workstation, update, and then install Xfce alongside > GNOME.

Or...you could just install from the Xfce live image or install Xfce from a network install, just like you've always been able to do. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
