2:37 AM EST 		Has anyone here tried to post comments on unixmen. over 3 days ago I posted 2 comments along the lines of what is contained in this quote...

Quoting:Ken the point here is that GNOME 3 isn't the huge departure from GNOME 2 that everyone seems to think. In fact as far as I've been able to ascertain it's no departure at all., as the Linux Mint result will bare out.

I believe the problem is too many people are assuming GNOME Shell is GNOME 3, it's not. GNOME Shell is part of GNOME 3, the part that has received almost all of the marketing love so far.

GNOME Shell works in it's place, on small screen devices, like netbooks, but more particularly touch screen devices, like tablets, as does Unity. Neither of them, no matter how their supporters like to think so, work well or at all on large screens and multi screen rigs, they are quite simply the wrong paradigm.


and quoting clem from Linux Mint re Linux Mint 11: “Katya”

No, not Unity. We’re going for Gnome 3 using a traditional desktop layout (no Gnome Shell). Of course you’ll be able to add Unity or Gnome Shell yourself, but by default the desktop will look similar to the one we’re using at the moment.


and yet after receiving the message telling me my comment is being queued, my comments never appear even after several days. I'm begining to wonder if I'm using the wrong deoderant.

Ah ha I've worked it out, the site is called UnixMEN, and clearly I'm not.
