Indeed there is an "installer" just install a bare archlinux (only the base system, and xorg) than edit the /etc/pacman.conf to put my repo before the [core] label and comment the other repositories (extra, community....) leaving only the gnome2 and core repositories... fire up a "pacman -Sy gnome2" so that simple... it installs all the gnome2 with libreoffice, librecad, gimp, inkscape wicd, gnome-appets (the batt status working on the knew kernel interface too)... there is firefox 2.20.1, youtube-dl, inkscape, libreoffice 4.0.3, librecad, kicad geda pcb, xine, vlc, avidemux2 ekiga dvdstyler, monodevelop java runtime 7 iced-tea, dia, gthumb, fixed the gvfsd to work with udisks2, so pendrive, dvd, iso plays nice, cheese, the camera works... of course there are some bugs, because the system is only a month of age... but it is 99% useable, I did not tested cups still, the main problem is that when you install the gnome2 group it misses some modules still so thiis is the reason I distribute it on HD... example of pacman.conf gnome2 repo [gnome2] SigLevel = Optional TrustAll Server = http://gnome2.k1.com.br:81/$arch than you can customize your "old" gnome2 to fit your needs, of course you must tell systemd to start gdm too: command===> systemctl enable gdm;systemctl start gdm the same for wicd... by the way gdm is the old one gdm 2.18 with the gdmsetup available an working. > > "Remember that new 3D interface for unix/linux that have a cube and > the user could have 6 desktops running on each side of the cube???

Thank you... One thing that comes with age is patience time to think if a thing is good or bad not just new or old new is not equal good.
