Re: list of functions and what each provides

Hi Bill:

    If you are moving to SL 7, and liked the GNOME 2 interface from SL 5 or 6, I would recommend using the Mate desktop from the epel repository.  So far, has been working well for me, the only problem I am having with it is running ClusterSSH which fails on startup each time (although it works on GNOME 3).

Regards,
Paul

Yes, I have a method: google.

Yes, I go through this with Ubuntu (also gnome). I wanted applets
that show CPU, memory, network, battery, CPU temperature.

Ultimately, it turned out the ubuntu default desktop (ubuntu one?)
"menu bar" cannot be customized. Nothing can be added, nothing can be removed,
no applets permitted, none provided.

Certainly one way to keep a list of functions/applets/functionalities. (make it an empty list).
