i can provide statistics from one distribution.. Archlinux - 4.57% of users have gnome-shell installed. you can have a look at the statistics. they are under 'extra', you will have to scroll way way down in 'extra' (it's probably easier to search 4 'gnome-shell' in your browser, on this page - CTRL+F in Firefox) it is found here; https://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics Also, looking through the forums, there is also very mixed reviews of the new gnome-desktop. Some people love it, and an equal amount hate it. there has also been PKGBUILDs added to the AUR (Arch User Repository) to help those who wish to use a classic gnome-environment with compiz.. the 'upstream' compiz-dev AUR contains an optional config for gnome.session too. there is also another package similar but for running gnome 3 + compiz + cairo-dock without gnome-panel too. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49505 there is also a new fork of gnome2 called Mate-Desktop or MDE. there is both an Unoffical Arch repo for it (don't have the link) and also and AUR package found here; http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49902 so it would seem the first distro to push gnome3 as an update would probably have to say, that it is less than popular. I don't know any other distro's statistics, and Arch isn't a gnome-distro (it's not DE specific at all..lol). but I bet less than half of users, using gnome3 are using gnome-shell. It would be interesting to see Ubuntu package statistics, being as they are the most popular distro... or it would be interesting to see a few months from now (i say this because many people were using Fc15 live-cd to test gnome-shell, so it wouldn't be very accurate to actual user-base), whether or not more people start using Fedora over ubuntu, being as Fedora is a gnome-distro...and ubuntu well, is unity.... suse statistics would be interesting to throw in the mix too.. food for thought. cheerz _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
