Kind of makes sense with all the widescreens people are using. I see that it's based on Gnome, how different can it really be? -- Drew

Sort of like the iPhone and Android UI. Personally, I'll take my Gnome Shell. To me it feels like they are going to what XFCE did years ago.

Post #335,066 by folkert 11/1/10 12:22:42 AM Reply	Perhaps. But it is supposed to have much the same functionality of the Gnome Shell and probably the heft. But then I don't know, I've never used it.

Great review, thanks for the link - (drook) - (5) - Nov. 1, 2010, 02:47:06 PM EDT

I actually found it to be the best upgrade - (jake123) - (4) - Nov. 1, 2010, 03:51:45 PM EDT

Faint praise, innit? - (drook) - (2) - Nov. 1, 2010, 05:12:49 PM EDT

More praise than I can give the past upgrades - (jake123) - (1) - Nov. 1, 2010, 05:29:34 PM EDT

Hmm, that might be worth checking, then - (drook) - Nov. 1, 2010, 05:40:38 PM EDT

I had a 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade that broke nothing. - (static) - Nov. 1, 2010, 06:06:35 PM EDT

Good timing - (crazy) - Nov. 1, 2010, 08:02:10 PM EDT

Ah-ha! And "so's your old man!"
