I assume most of the main distros will be switching to Gnome 3 (Shell), since it's finally been released. Also, I know that Gnome 3 and Gnome 2 have very different requirements, so it could be very hard to support both out of the box and Gnome 2 will be the one to be dropped. (This is why you can't test Unity and Gnome-Shell together) So this could make it hard to find a distro that still supports gnome 2 out of the box. No doubt you'll be able to install it after the fact if you want it though, kinda like how you can add KDE etc. Thanks, ~Stephen On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 9:52 AM, danyJ <danyj...@yahoo.com.au> wrote: > On Sun, 10 Apr 2011 00:32:49 +1000 > peter goggin <petergog...@bigpond.com> wrote: > >> The reason I use ubuntu is two fold: >> 1.
