I think the other distros will
catch on -- Mint is already there. Lord knows I gave
Gnome 3 a chance...I used it for a week, but just couldn't get
past the interface issues.
Frankly, it makes sense now that Fedora's backing MATE. Red Hat
would never be able
to deploy Gnome 3 on an enterprise-level scale; it's just too
non-intuitive and Unity is too
tablet-ish. Thank you, Desktop Gods!
Cheers, Al Lopez

significant
backing now. Vr Al

MATE is to GNOME what LibreOffice is to OpenOffice. It's the fork going
forward. GNOME3 is a desktop like dBase2 had an interface. Blank and
useless.
MATE is GNOME2.x reborn, and it's available for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu,
Mint, and ArchLinux at http://mate-desktop.org/install/. I just
installed it to my Fedora 17 lapto and logged off/on.
