Exclamation Fedora 15 Den of Users

Has anyone tested the beta release of Fedora Core 15?

How was your experience with Gnome 3?

Do you need help setting up hardware/drivers/software?

Want to screenshare?

Do you have a screen capture session you wish to share?

The Fedora 15 Den of Users is here for you!

Btw, they don't use "core" in the name anymore.

I plan on installing F15 when it is released soon. But I have tried gnome3/shell in ubuntu, and absolutely love it.

How did you get it to work under ubuntu? I thought the PPA was extremely unstable.

It's not that the PPA is unstable, as it comes from the gnome 3 team, it's that ubuntu is not built for gnome 3. I did some updates one day and basically fubar'ed my install. I have a friend running it on top of xubuntu, but he has locked it down as far as updates. It's probably best to use Fedora if you want to use gnome 3.
