This weekend I took the plunge and upgraded my main desktop machine to Fedora 15 + Gnome 3. Out of the gate I hit some serious culture shock, but I'm starting to get the hang of the new gnome interface and it's growing on me quickly.
There are many good reviews posted online explaining the new gnome 3 interface, but I figured I'd post my own thoughts too: http://gallinazo.flightgear.org/technology/fedora-15-and-gnome-3/ FlightGear seems to compile and run pretty much exactly as before with Fedora 14, so no complaints there. So far so good ... ! Curt. On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 3:24 AM, Chris Baines wrote: > I use Gnome 3 and FlightGear and it works well.
