I am looking forward to seeing gnome3. My school computers, running
VMWare over XP produce an alert that Gnome3 does not work with my
virtual video cards, so they revert to a strange and ugly gnome2.<br>

<p>I really like GNOME 3; aside from a few (minor) bugs, it is
quite nice. I could learn to use it daily, on the right base. I
had to remove Fedora, though. I couldn't be productive with it.
Fedora is strangely fresh, but I can't get over the package
manager. It is very slow (could just be my perception), and I
found a bug either in the package manager or the F15 repository,
I don't know which. (Sadly, I did not save the output, and I
can't remember what I was trying to install, but it failed
miserably).</p>
