| === Fedora 15 with GNOME 3 & some cool upgrades! ===
| |
| | |
| [[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-May/013872.html</ref> a blog posting on Fedora 15 and GNOME 3:
| |
| | |
| "This version of Fedora uses a radically updated GNOME (GNOME 3) which
| |
| is significantly different from the GNOME 2 desktop. According to Jared
| |
| Smith, the Fedora project leader, this next generation GNOME has a
| |
| different way of organizing things up. He also adds that since some
| |
| things will be essentially different in the GNOME due to the significant
| |
| changes, people have to get used to it."

| |
| | |
| [[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-May/013871.html</ref> another article about GNOME 3:
| |
| | |
| "Yes, I know I sounded like a nag till now, but overall GNOME Shell is certainly a welcome change on how we are supposed to interact with our desktops. Comparing it to how KDE 4.0 looked and felt like when it first came out, GNOME 3.0 appears to be much more stable and ready for prime time. In fact, I’m writing this after having exclusively used it for two weeks straight. Give it a try, if you are plain bored of looking at the same 2-panel desktop interface for a decade.
| |
| | |
| The next version, GNOME 3.2, comes out in another six months, which promises a lot many changes. Till then, apart from the the openSUSE- and Fedora-based LiveCDs, you can also make use of the Official GNOME 3 PPA if you’re using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narhwal. Not to forget, Fedora 15, that comes out by the end of this month, will be the first major distro to default to GNOME 3."

| |
| | |
| [[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-May/013870.html</ref> another posting on Fedora 15:
| |
| | |
| "But, while Gnome and Ubuntu take flak and fight their corner, Fedora,
| |
| the Red Hat-backed community release, is taking the changes head-on.
| |
| This week the project's developers released Fedora 15 beta, the final
| |
| testing release before its eventual end-of-May release, which has
| |
| completely integrated the new Gnome3 desktop into the release."
| |
| | |
| "Fedora 15 includes, by default, the Gnome3 desktop which introduces the
| |
| Gnome Shell as the new metaphor for managing desktop applications and
| |
| windows. Fedora developers have done such a good job of integrating
| |
| Gnome3 into the desktop that the Gnome project itself uses the release
| |
| to demonstrate the new features of Gnome3."

| "Fedora 15 has GNOME 3. This application was released very recently and it comprises of an absolutely new User Interface known as the GNOME Shell. Fedora 15 Beta now has an utterly new user experience when compared to earlier releases with GNOME 3. In case GNOME is not the Desktop Environment of your choice, Fedora spinoffs with LXDE and Xfce have been released too." | | "Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) and future releases — along with RHEL 7 and future CentOS releases — will be the best way to enjoy a vanilla Gnome 3 experience." |

| === A look at GNOME Shell === | | === Fedora 18 Linux Set To Package Spherical Cow Load of Features === |
| | |
| [[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-May/013868.html</ref> an in-depth look at GNOME Shell and Fedora 15:
| |
| | |
| "In my opinion, Fedora 15 "LoveLock" is probably the most exciting
| |
| release to come out of the Fedora camp in years. While some of the
| |
| previous releases excelled in certain aspects (such as features aimed at
| |
| developers), they fell short in other areas as or more important, such
| |
| as providing a polished end user experience. Things are not silk smooth
| |
| yet, but I have definitely seen an improvement, plus there is a host of
| |
| exciting new features coming as part of this release."
| |
|
| |
|
| "All in all, after using GNOME Shell almost exclusively for several | | "The clock is starting to tick down on the Fedora Linux release with the feature freeze now in place. As such, now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the new features that are likely to land when Fedora 18 goes live at the end of the year." |
| days, I have to say I consider it a big success. It is certainly not
| |
| perfect, there are plenty of things that can be improved, but the
| |
| foundation is much more solid than I anticipated or even hoped for. I
| |
| can only encourage current GNOME 2.x users to keep an open mind and
| |
| embrace this new release. After all, the more support it gets, the
| |
| sooner it will improve and mature, and that's best for everyone"
