N.B.: What follows is obviously all opinion:I can't stand Unity, and the default settings for Gnome 3 drove me nuts.If you are willing to put the effort in, you can install a bunch of extensions that will make it at least approach the usability of Gnome 2.I recommend:After installing, restart Gnome, and then use the 'Advanced Settings' menu (which is actually a shortcut to the tool Bob mentioned, gnome-tweak-tool) to enable the extensions you want.I was able to almost achieve what I had in Gnome 2 by doing this - although there are still some annoyances.I really don't understand why Gnome3 took this giant step backwards, and Canonical took Ubuntu even further backwards with Unity.Cheers,BenOn Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Vincenzo Pellegrini <address@hidden> wrote:
Just a couple of lines to cast my ballot in favor of Bob's complaint.I had the same reaction in response to Fedora 15 reception of the Gnome3 thing.That stuff does move too far away from the power-user-desktop concept I've been enjoying for several years as a developer.Also I'm a bit frustrated to have to go after that load of "tweaks" in order to get a freshly installed system usable.my best regards to everybody therevince--2011/10/17 Alexandru Csete <address@hidden>On Ubuntu 11.04 I have installed Xfce desktop ( http://www.xfce.org/ )On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 7:28 PM, Tom Rondeau <address@hidden> wrote:

- it is available via the package manager (or by installing xubuntu
instead of regular ubuntu). It is similar to Gnome 2 and is very
lightweight.
