thats a false statement propagated by,u know a qt-based DE fans dat GNOME is not for noobs.actually qt-based Desktop environment is cluttered and have menu which contains useless no of apps. also qt-bases DE is a copycat of RedMond's World famous Buggy Operating System.BUt GNOME stands apart it has a simple interface and usability at the maximum,caveat that u need to be free from comparing everything with RedMond's World famous Buggy Operating System.GNOME follows many plans and guidelines for the user community.phreak0utt said:
Infact GNOME is having problem that it is not user friendly and for geek use from it's inception.but things changed after afaik GNOME release-2.6 or so.they followed the Human Interface Guidelines to get the DE userfriendly and with GNOME-2.16.x u'll get the feel of their hardwork.GNOME DE is based on GTK(Gimp tool kit) libraries,which are the base and backbone of most GUI applications running on *NIX OS's.while qt libraries are simply needed for that qt DE apps to run.
No Wonder major Open SOurce based Companies are all supporting and using GNOME as the default Desktop Environment.
so dont practice to hate this project becoz of the propaganda send by the hategangs.

Well, I have used GNOME for sometime before switching over to KDE. Most of the time, you won't even realise that there are applications are available until you read it somewhere or someone points it out to you. Also, the eyecandy is missing. Yes, there are few things which look like Windows, but doesn't the glass effect look awesome in Windows? I simply loved it, if you didn't. That doesn't mean I'm talking for Windows. I do love Linux and want to make a complete switch to it asap. But, I prefer the eyecandy WITH the applications. I don't prefer to run each and every application from the Run command line. Few things are better of clicking away as its easy available right there.
Apart from the looks, I came to know that its hard to install XGL on FC5 as most of the repos are not available. I tried numerous sites suggested by the members here and myself, but only to find that the repos are missing. So, is there no way to install XGL? I really dont find it convenient to install a newer version all the time since I'm just getting used to Fedora 5 and burning discs is not really a great idea. So, any ideas guys?

Go to www.gnome-look.org and customise GNOME.
And I don't need to run any apps from CLI in GNOME. I get all the apps that are present in my system in the GNOME menu.
And for enabling XGL, just follow those steps written there. Where does the question of having/not having any repos arrive.

Can we update only Xorg to the latest version using Yum? If so, I'll try it. There's some technical problem with the BSNL servers now. So, I'm not able to update it. In case it is possible, I'll try to do it and see if it is possible to install AIGLX+Beryl. Also, is it necessary to install both? Can't we install only Compiz or GLX or Beryl? Please do let me know.

Hmmmm......... But I hate to upgrade every 6 months or so as new stuff come out. I think I'll upgrade and save myself the trouble. Since my DVD combo drive is screwed up and DVDs can't be detected, I'll settle for CDs. Thanks to everyone who responded to my queries
