Terry writes: Since version 3 of the Gnome desktop environment came out a lot of us have been trying various alternative Desktops. I myself have multiple desktops, including KDE, Xfce, Cinnamon, Razor-Qt, plus a few others. Early this year I read an article about Gnome 3 and a well known person, and it piqued my interest. In this presentation I will show what I found out about configuring Gnome 3 with a hands-on session. I am a member of LUV and long-time Linux user from the early days of Slackware -- until one day I saw at a LUV install feast at MLC an install of SUSE, which I have been using since. I was on the committee of Melbourne PC, and convenor of the Linux and Open Souce SIG. General Workshop Area: At the LUV Beginners' Workshop you can come along and work with Linux enthusiasts to assist you in setting up your system the way you want. This could include friendly advice on partitions, distributions, configurations, networking and specific applications. Bring your laptop!
