Sure, but at least you don't have to deal with gnome-shell and still run GNOME3. >> But true is that I'd like so much Debian still provides GNOME2/metacity >> in wheezy as an alternative to GNOME3/gnome-shell. > > The problem with clinging to GNOME2 is that the GNOME project will no > longer develop it, so unless someone forks the whole kit and caboodle, > it will eventually die off. Yep, but GNOME2 is still supported upstream, at least for now, and I will use it until it is finally dropped by the GNOME project. I don't need additional features or enhancements just security fixes. And now you mention a fork, there are two projects focused on this: mate and exde, IIRC. > I am so happy with LXDE that I wish I had switched sooner, but until > Fedora 15 came out I had been contented and familiar enough with GNOME2 > not to make the effort to evaluate alternatives. > > All this is my personal experience, preference and opinion of course; it > is for each to make his or her own choice. I'm a bit reluctant in changing to XFCE. I migrated from KDE4 to GNOME2 and now I feel very comfortable in this environment. Being like a "nomad" is fine for young people that want to taste new experiences, I prefer a quiet home :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
