battle holding current desktop environments and shells in all is making specific distributions appear who try to maximize the benefits that both sides want to pass competitors.
The last of these distributions is noteworthy GNOME Ubuntu 12.10 Alpha Remix , the first draft of a distro that is part of the official Ubuntu family but unlike conventional version GNOME 3 and Unity uses GNOME 3 with GNOME Shell but .
Given the criticisms that some users have with Ubuntu and Unity, the plan to offer an independent distro based on GNOME Shell seems like a great idea, and in fact this is the first time that I know of that offers GNOME 3.6 Beta serial in a distribution.
That
allow both GNOME Shell lovers and those curious to prove the benefits of a desktop environment and an interface that we have seen recently seems to have gained more integers in usability and stability.
Obviously this is an Alpha version so I recommend you try in test environments (virtualization is useful here), but still will be watching to see how this distribution evolves.
You can download
details GNOME Ubuntu Remix 12.10 and download the 32 and 64 bits in the official project page here.

We’ve talked quite recently to Skeltrack, the Open Source project with the help of that achieves GFreenect Kinect becomes a perfect device to control the interface GNOME Shell through gestures .
The result can be spectacular, as demonstrated by Joaquim Rocha in a new video posted on Vimeo in which we can see how Joaquim controls the interface with gestures in a fairly accurate and fast, and WIN also plays a com or Tuxracer games pretending to have a flyer in his hand.
demo application is published under GPL , and you can find the same code on GitHub, so if you have Kinect and want to try, and you can do … and tell us!

responsible for taking the decision to develop its own desktop interface, Unity, which first ran on GNOME 2, and then adapted to GNOME 3 .
was with the jump to GNOME 3 where users could start using GNOME Shell, so that the sign could be used both Unity and GNOME Shell, but no version “pure” Ubuntu GNOME Shell and without Unity for those who simply do not want the native environment of Canonical.
Muktware explain how we create our own “Gubuntu” , a wholly derived from Ubuntu distribution but instead of Unity includes GNOME Shell.
The secret of this installation is very simple: instead of downloading the desktop version of Ubuntu, we have to choose Ubuntu Server , whose installation, care is done in text mode , not via a graphical wizard . So before you proceed, you must be convinced to complete the installation without the graphical wizard, which is not complicated but it can raise questions to the novice user.
the installation process will ask you one step “Select keyboard languages.” You must select “No” and then select the appropriate language in the next step. When prompted to “Select packages to install”, just press Enter to install the system by default. Something more delicate is the selection of the partition that you should make carefully .
Once installed Ubuntu Server and rebooted the computer see a console with your prompt, no graphical interface . To solve the latter will have to enter the system with our username and password, then type the commands
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install gnome
This will download and install lots of packages, and upon completion will have to reboot and select GNOME (and Ubuntu) from the login screen. We already have a 3 with GNOME GNOME Shell, but there are packages and tools not available in the base repo, so should add the PPA repository GNOME Team 3 to access these solutions. To do this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: gnome3-team/gnome3
can install GNOME utilities such as Tweak Tool (seek him in Synaptic, it installs itself, as the Ubuntu Software Center is not included in the installation of GNOME 3 we have done), and and you can go from start to finish shaping your GNOME Shell.

developers to fork Linux Mint GNOME Shell has announced the availability of Cinnamon 1.2 , and both APIs as the desktop interface has been declared stable by the founder of Linux Mint, Clement Lefebvre .
Cinnamon, which was created last year to outline some changes that the developers of Linux Mint wanted to apply to the desktop environment GNOME 3, is having a notable host to adapt some of the visual characteristics of the GNOME 2 . x and move to GNOME Shell and GNOME 3.
Among the improvements the new version are easy to customize Cinnamon by Cinnamon Tool Settings , which includes for example the ability to set the time format for the calendar applet.
As indicated in The H Open, the configuration tool is also used to parameterize the applets Cinnamon , which have been added as a new feature in version 1.2 and add features such as accessibility, documents Recent removable drives, trash or control of the monitor via XRandR.
applets are sort of extensions supervitaminadas with respect to extensions of GNOME 3, and Lefebvre expects all developers to implement applets, and only write extensions for “advanced purposes.”
desktop now comes with a choice of three provisions ( layouts ) different desktop. First is the traditional layout , with a lower bar to the main menu launcher, taskbar and system tray applets.
Traditional Desk
Desktop
Flipped
Classic Desktop
available Flipped change the bar at the top of the screen. Finally, the available Classic uses a top bar to the top menu and system tray, but in addition also includes a bottom bar with a provision tasks even more similar to GNOME 2.
can find more about Cinnamon 1.2 both the post of The H Open as the project officer post which offers several additional catches. And of course, you can download 1.2 for your distribution Cinnamon thanks to the huge project download page.
not me: I say all who have used it for a while. In fact, so far I’ve been a devoted user of bash, the default shell in the vast majority of Linux distributions, but may after reading a lot about the subject finished migrating to zsh , a shell that offers much better compared.

Among other things, one of the most important points is the visual finish that may have Terminal with zsh, and which combine fonts, layout of the messages and themes available for customization their appearance. Here is an example of how to customize the appearance depending on what you do in zsh. Here is another guide for beginners Z Shell.
But there’s more: as revealed on this site and especially this article Fried CPU, the advantages of zsh begin their compatibility with bash : Everything we do is bash zsh identical, so do not lose any property. But then from there arise very interesting advantages such as:
typographical
: if we “ APTG-et ” we will get a message like “ ssh: correct 0aptg-et ‘to’ apt- get ‘[Nyae] “.
smart autocomplete tab
: You may do bash, zsh but this goes beyond the presentation of results in a navigable menu with the arrow keys, or the ability to kill kill processes by selecting them with a list that presents zsh to use the.

GNOME Shell issues continue to show the versatility of this visual interface, and lately there have been some really curious. palm takes the issue in this case Shell Ice Cream , which mimics some of the visual elements of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
discussed in Tech Drive-In, where they reveal the minimum requirements to enjoy this. Specifically, we will install the fonts Roboto (here) and the official wallpaper (here) that are used in Android 4.0, and then download the theme and place it in our theme folder (/ home / USER /. themes /) to select it from GNOME Tweak Tools.
original article explains the process to enable this issue, so we leave you with this detailed resource. We have been tested and although the result is curious, finish is far less perfect , although it is revealed in the user menu or in some visual elements to launch the activities.
nice way to customize your desktop , of course. What do you think?
