I personally love Gnome3 on Fedora. It took me about a week to adjust my mindset though -- I did that over a Xmas break. It did help that I read the release notes first (so I was not surprised at the major change) and went through the tutorial the developers provided. An interesting exercise re-examining and critiquing old workflows and exploring alternatives. It works really well on the

We recently installed CentOS 7 on a system. We chose the GNOME desktop install option and have used yum to install all of the available updates.? The first run of yum update yielded about 450 megabytes of items to be installed or updated. All of the updates have been successful. One issue with our new CentOS system is that some users want to use gedit, but the displayed font size is extremely

Alice, your rant is just whining. It's open source. If you don't like it, modify it. You cannot compare something which you basically get for free to what is funded by for-profit companies.

It is better out of the box than GNOME 2 ever was, at least in my opinion, especially that abomination called Nautilus spatial mode. It is a bit irritating that things are either really easy

The default _is_ monospace (specifically, the monospace system font). You _are_ doing something special by changing the font - and gedit happens to work just fine with

I am a rank newbie to Linux and wine. I am running Ubuntu Dapper on an AMD 1800 mhz machine, wine 0.9.15 Everything I have read says use the installer to load windows programs. Where is the installer? Thanks, -- Ron Thompson On the Beautiful Florida Space Coast, right beside the Kennedy Space Center, USA http://www.plansandprojects.com My hobby pages are here:

Hello, when i run any application in wine (including for example regedit), font is TOO small, sometimes even unreadable.

Hi, I've got a possible font problem with a fully updated CentOS 7 system. An example with the man command. #man kill Should return the following KILL(1) User Commands KILL(1) NAME kill - terminate a process SYNOPSIS kill [-s signal|-p] [-q sigval] [-a] [--] pid... kill -l [signal] but what I actually get is the following KILL(1)

Hi, I just did a fresh install of CentOS 5.5, as usual : base system, X Window system, GNOME, and then the apps I need. The MiscFixed fonts don't seem to be available in GNOME Terminal anymore. Has the package been renamed? Any idea where they went? It's my favourite font for the terminal. Cheers, Niki

Greetings - Users of the box I'm putting together will need to be able to run R remotely, using a virtual desktop. One approach (that I'm trying) is to use VNC. So far, I can get the remote gnome desktop up on the server (running Fedora Core 5), and can start R from a terminal. However, for a lot of the R scripts I've tried, I get 'font errors' - the general error message
