so it's a suers problem not one of Fedora if YOU can't install it
the 238 packages here are only because i have no single unused package
installed and do not touch any GNOME crap at all

mine has shown the opposite and i have more than 20
fedora sverers in PRODUCTION over years and using
Fedora for anything since 2006

CentOS 6 will have GNOME2 for many years

that does not change the fact that it is careless to use a OS which
