I am using Fedora 14 on my laptop and have held off upgrading to Fedora 15 just because I really dislike the appearance of Gnome 3. In fact, at the moment I am trying to move to KDE (cf. my questions in another thread). If I can just figure out how to tweak a few more things I might just stick with KDE. It used to be that Gnome was simple and uncluttered and KDE looked like a circus. Now it seems that things have reversed themselves. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
