There was a revolution in Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora that will affect you even if you are just a command line person (as I am). Ubuntu moved to Unity which only Canonical staff seem to like. Debian and Fedora stuck with GNOME 3 and the Gnome Shell, which many people hate but actually a lot of people (including me now, but not originally) really prefer over GNOME 2. Various high profile people (cf. Linus Torvalds) panned GNOME Shell and skipped off to XFCE on GNOME 3 and then KDE. His attack on GNOME Shell was a bit OTT, but his move to KDE is entirely his choice. Even if you just manage command line terminals, the evolution will hit you. It's analogous to the way Windows 7 evolved into Windows 8, but not so revolutionary. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
