(BoxGrinder and Spice integration)<br>look nice and might be useful for some projects we're working on at<br>the moment. Libre Office and Firefox 4 is good, but many of us have<br>already added them to Fedora 14 from external repos (and/or are using<br>Chrome).<br><br>The big feature in Fedora 15 is Gnome 3 which is pretty horrible, and<br>isn't something I could deploy to customer machines. It may turn out<br>that non-geek users prefer it, but the user interface is a massive<br>change from 2.x versions and will take some getting used to and/or<br>configuring. For example there's no minimise or maximise options, the<br>start menu takes up the entire screen, secondary monitors aren't part<br>of a workspace by default, start menu appears just by hovering the<br>mouse in the top left of the screen, start menu doesn't actually list<br>any software until you then click on the (non-obvious) Applications<br>link.<br><br>I'll obviously be
upgrading my laptop soon, but may well be switching<br>to XFCE rather than use Gnome 3.<br><br>I'm more interested in the next version of Centos, but I don't expect<br>that to come any time soon.<br><br>Alice<br><br><br><br>On 24 May 2011 15:44, Dick Thomas <<a ymailto="mailto:xpd259@gmail.com" href="mailto:xpd259@gmail.com">xpd259@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Fedora 15 "Lovelock" is released and available for immediate<br>> download! <a href="http://2tu.us/3cch" target="_blank">http://2tu.us/3cch</a> | Full announcement here: <a href="http://2tu.us/3cci" target="_blank">http://2tu.us/3cci</a><br>><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Bradford mailing list<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk" href="mailto:Bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk">Bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk</a><br>> <a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/bradford"
