Likewise. I liked Gnome 2. I don't like Gnome 3, and it's too heavy a workload for my PCs. I've said the same thing about inappropriate tablet interface style. And I don't like KDE. But I went with the MATE desktop, which is about as close as you can get to the old Gnome 2 as I think you can get.
One thing I like about Xfce is that it lets you decide how to organize your desktop. I have one panel, on the bottom, and two rows of icons on the left, just as I did in Win98. I'm used to it, I'm comfortable with it and I see no reason to change just to because it's new and *shiny!*
Ooooooooh! Shiny! Pretty! Oh, look! Bird! Squirrel!
Sorry, got distracted channeling my dog. :-)
Yeah, I agree. I have Xfce because I could make it look like Gnome2 and still customize it to a reasonable extent. I guess MATE is popular with Gnome2ites as well (such as Tim), though I've not used it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - BASIC is the Computer Science version of `Scientific Creationism' - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
