And GNOME Shell no where to be seen.

Quoting:Although Foresight Linux 2.5 ships with GNOME 2.32.1, it should be one of the first Linux distributions to update to GNOME 3.0 this spring, according to former OpenSUSE Community Manager Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier


You confuse me tracyanne. Have we even seen Foresight's Gnome 3 implementation yet?

no I read it wrong, I just so annoyed at all the people comparing GNOME3 to KDE 4, when in fact there is no comparison. GNOME 3, inspite of all the blogging about GNOME Shell, with the bloggers calling it GNOME 3, is merely GNOME 2 with incremental improvements. GNOME Shell is the Touch/Tablet extension to GNOME 3.
