Hey all, My view is that this page should help newcomers get hold of GNOME 3, either to try it or run it full time. This is the main place on the web for people to get this information. It is a prominent public-facing page. The focus should be on assisting non-experts, therefore. We know there is

So, what your saying is that its really hard to get a good GNOME 3 install on Mageia and therefor it shouldn't be on the list of distros, correct? I get that. Theres a reason we don't list *every* distro on the page afterall! Maybe we should come up with a concrete set of 'rules' to be listed and
