How did it feel?
What would you say are its pros and cons??
Mux
Buggy as hell, no sorry, too light explanation, buggy as windows...:
Ok, I compiled it my self and damn thing wont remember my settings, like I put new panel, icons, change backgroung and when i login again everything is gone....%$#%$&#/&/&/(%&/
Maybe someone had better luck
I've got no problems with saving the settings.
My opinion:
- REALLY GOOD LOOKING (especially with Anti Aliased fonts).
- Its usability is better
- Not really as fast as the older GNOME
- I'm not really pleased with the option of not being able to change window manager however I hvae read that this option will come in the next release.
(note: I did not compile it by myself as AxeZ. I got it with my Mandrale 9.0)

Who said you can't change the Window manager? Try using the GConf editor...
