Comments on The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 16 i686 (GNOME)

The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 16 i686 (GNOME) This tutorial shows how you can set up a Fedora 16 desktop (GNOME) that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

Hello,

Here is my article about how to install BlueJ which is used in my and others universities to learn Java programming language.

And also perhaps more detailed Bluefish installation guide :)

As for this particular  tutorial, I would like to recommend to install Gnome tweak tools as it is quite annoying not to be able to see any icons on a desktop :) It can be done using this command:

yum install gnome-tweak-tool

New menu item will appear - Applications>Accessories>Advanced Settings.

Thanks for these How To's, guys! I've been following them for years now.

Kind regards,
Donatas

it's a strange thing!!! Why can i only see 'activities' instead of 'application' and 'places' as can be seen in your screenshots? This is the one of the reasons why i hate Gnome 3. Any idea?

I feel the same way.  To go to the same version of gnome 3 as displayed click the user name in the upper right, choose the "system settings" then  the "system info" and "graphics" on the left

 change "force fallback mode" to "on".  logout and back in, and you're to something that represents the love child of gnome 2 and 3
