I heard that Mint was going to stay with the classic gnome interface as default - since they agree with the thinking that it should stay as-is to make it easy for new people.

Gnome-Shell is the name of the interface within Gnome 3 - so as I understand it, switching to gnome 3 means using gnome-shell. ~Stephen On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 3:32 PM, Basil Chupin <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/04/2011 10:30, Peter Watts wrote: >> >> I have read somewhere that MINT will not be using Unity, This an other >> distros built on Ubuntu my be a better option. >> Thanks >> Peter > > Mint is simply a re-work of Ubuntu. > > However, I also did read somewhere that it will have a fork which will > maintain and continue to use the gnome DE. > > But then comes the question: will they continue to maintain gnome 2.3 or > switch to the gnome shell (whatever the heck that is!) or to gnome 3? > > BC > > -- > Great Man reaches complete understanding of the main issues; Petty Man > reaches complete understanding of the minute details." > > Confucius > > > -- > ubuntu-au mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au > -- Stephen Rees-Carter ~ Valorin http://stephen.rees-carter.net/ -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
