Sabayon and Gnome Shell
This is my first look at gnome shell. I guess this is going to be the big thing for gnome when gnome 3 comes out in 2010. Gnome shell is in it’s early stages yet, but I miss having the ability to place things on the panel. Normally on my gnome, I have my favorite apps on the top panel so they are easy access. With gnome shell I have to browse for my favorite apps. I don’t understand that with these desktop environments of today. Why does anyone want to scroll around looking for applications? In KDE4 I just started using the Alt F2 button and typing in the application. Well in gnome shell, it didn’t take me long to hit the Alt F2 to fire up my applications. It’s a lot faster than scrolling around looking for an application.
