Hi Lailah, Ah! Totally fine. Mucho gusto! Vivi con tres hombres de Mexico, DF por un ano. So the idea is to take Fedora 17 and make it so that the Desktop Background is animated. Then take that animated desktop background and make it so you can interact with it. Then I would imagine if users

Hi! I'm sorry, is my fault. Is not "SO", is "OS". I'm a Spanish speaker and in my language we say "Sistema Operativo" (SO). It can be translated as "Operative System". Regards, and sorry again Lailah El lun, 15-10-2012 a las 14:32 -0600, Matt Whittle escribió: > Hi Lailah,

Hi all, Thanks, this is really good discussion. Let's compare. Let's say I want to open an application - say the game Mines. In the current Fedora system, I would click on Activities, Applications, presumably Games, and then Mines. Before we go into how it would work in the new system, let's t
