Re: Our long nightmare is over



How is this compared to Gnome 2? Pretty similar?

Frankly, it makes sense now that Fedora's backing MATE. Red Hat would never be able
to deploy Gnome 3 on an enterprise-level scale; it's just too non-intuitive and Unity is too
tablet-ish. Thank you, Desktop Gods!

GREAT call on Fedora's part. Glad to see that MATE has significant

MATE is to GNOME what LibreOffice is to OpenOffice. It's the fork going
forward. GNOME3 is a desktop like dBase2 had an interface. Blank and
useless.

MATE is GNOME2.x reborn, and it's available for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu,
Mint, and ArchLinux at http://mate-desktop.org/install/. I just
installed it to my Fedora 17 lapto and logged off/on.

I'm happy.
