When I heard what the chiefs were planning for Ubuntu 11.04 (i.e.,
Unity), I<br>
dropped them like a rock. Since Ubuntu is a fork off from (they call it
*upstream*<br>
and *downstream* these days) Debian, I converted to Debian. Debian is
still<br>
at Gnome2 currently.<br>
<br>
I'm writing because I thought Gnome3 wasn't officially released yet.
How did the<br>
Fedorans get that?!<br>
<br>
What is your opinion on Gnome2 versus Gnome3--at the present time. That
is, is<br>
Gnome3 kind of rough around the edges (not quite ready for prime time)
or is it<br>
very ready. Is Gnome3 bloated? Would you rather run Gnome2 or (Gnome3
as it<br>
is on Fedora)?<br>
<br>
[What I'd REALLY like to know is:<br>
A) when does Gnome3 officially release?<br>
B) length of time until it appears in an official Debian release.<br>
C) how much speed and memory will a PCclone require for Debian with
Gnome3? (i.e., do I have to replace<br>
my antiquated system?)<br>
But then, *NOONE* knows THESE!!]<br>
<br>
Thank you very kindly in advance.<br>
<br>
So far, debian looks good. The load average drops to 0.00 when I don't
type in enough stuff. On Ubuntu-9.10?,<br>
10.04 and 10.10, it never dropped to below around 0.20--0.0 reminds me
of when I was working on<br>
Solaris machines. (Do stuff--it spikes. Stop doing stuff--it drops to
0.00. Life is good. This is how it should be!)<br>
<br>
Aloha. :)<br>

11.04 is getting better and unity may be your cup of tea. But not mine.<br>
At first I thought Gnome3 was a little clunky to operate. Then I
started navigating Unity.<br>
With the apps that are avaible to down load the first app was grivin.
So i downlod it and run the app.<br>
It loads then asked to install a workspace. I try to install a work
space but it failes because there is no existing workspace files. it
fails to create a new work space.<br>
And I think to my self, hmm this would be great for a new user to
encounter. A non working app suggested as the first app to download.<br>
I think I will wipe the still ugly Ubuntu 1104 from my laptop. <br>
Fedora 15 beta wins over ubuntu today.<br>
