If you want to test it, you can get the recent development release
of Toorox 03.2011 "GNOME3-RC".
The New GNOME 3:
It's only available as a 32bit image. It contains the Linux Kernel
2.6.37-gentoo, GNOME 2.91.92 (3.0_RC), Xorg-Server 1.9.5,
LibreOffice 3.3.2, IceCat 3.6.16, Thunderbird 3.1.9 ...
Attention should be paid to the fact, that GNOME3 needs accelerated
graphics support. If the video driver doesn't support this, the desktop
will start in a "Fallback Mode" which can't represent all of the functions
and the "Look & Feel" of the new GNOME-Generation. This will be
happen for example if you have a nVidia graphics card. But this is no
problem - click on "Systemconfig" in the black panel (see picture below)
and start "nVidia Drivers". This will download and install the official video
driver for your card. Then the desktop will restart automatically with
graphics acceleration.
The "Fallback Mode"
The Toorox-Installer and USB-Pendrive-Creator are stored in the home
directory. You can launch them simply with the filemanager.
Enjoy ....
