Fedora 17 with Unity Desktop

[Danishka Navin]

Hi,

Does any body use Fedora 17 with Unity Desktop?

Can use it without any issue/bugs?

Best Regards,

Last I see it was still being worked on. Unity required all kinds of
patches, but seems the most invasive ones (gtk+) are now optional.
Suggest looking back in the various Fedora archives.

See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_Ayatana

There are pros and cons.  I for one, will not be testing.....

Thanks for the heads-up Ed...

I sighed when I read this:

"To add the repo via the Terminal run:

sudo su
    cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
    wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Ayatana/Fedora_17/GNOME:Aya...
"
(snip)

Yeah, URL shorteners, they´ve heard of them... ;)

That´s the world of Linux... too many "list of instructions to copy
and paste" and too few scripts that you can just download and run....
while 99% of the time it´s just a matter of adding !/bin/bash to the
top line and offering it for download as a .sh file instead of posting
it as a code box...

But I digress....
