Gnome 3 and LMDE

[zulfikar]

Hey does LMDE support Gnome 3 ? I want to try it and also want to try kde just for fun. I have both LMDE Gnome and LMDE Xfce (though this one not installed as yet ) , another question , is LMDE Xfce same like the xfce which I downloaded from the repo ? I ask so that I don't install LMDE Xfce version.

I AM JUST LOVING LMDE It looks like win 7 now with the theme

hi zulfikar,
gnome3 is available in testing (with gnome-shell v.3.0), so in order to get it you will have to change your sources.list from the default latest (loosing the safety of the UP) and entering the wild world of debian testing

I think you need to track SID for Gnome 3

Got a question.

I have installed Lxde on LMDE Gnome and I see this openbox but when i try the openbox session it only shows me a screen with a mouse pointer and nothing else , I have never used openbox can anyone tell me how to use it.

zulfikar, unfortunately i can't help you there (never used openbox) and i'm afraid your post will get lost in this topic, so my advise is to open a new topic with a more specific subject and certainly you will get better assistance.
