The GNOME 3.0 Live CD

The Fedora GNOME 3.0 Live CD is made of awesome. Not just because it showcases the awesomeness that is GNOME 3, but also because it's built on an awesome systemd-based OS. Double awesome!

So, get it, play with it. It's the future of computing: GNOME and systemd and Linux. Triple awesome!

And did I mention that F15 is going the awesomest OS release ever?

Nope, there's no April 1st joke in here. It's really honestly just ... awesome!

I was truly amassed by the speed of this liveCD. It booted quite a bit faster than my Linux OS on the hard disk. I guess systemd is to be "blamed" for the fast experience. Thanks for Rocking!

This release is very good but it would have been better if we had option to remove some of the desktop effects without compromising gnome 3.0 shell experience what i mean is 2D like unity.
My system is amd 4400+ with amd 690g chipset and im using integrated graphics ATI X1250 so performance is a bit slow and also i have fonts issue sometimes where all fonts appears incomplete which is very distressing.
Also i want to buy a graphics card for better experience since from now on it has become necessary in all OS to have graphics card for better experience but i would prefer to buy AMD Fusion APU'S when they come out as i am not a gamer and i use only LINUX and dont want to spend money on SOFTWARES when you can get world class OS like FEDORA for free which i think is best among all DISTROS.

GUYS KEEP INNOVATING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Yes, Gnome 3 is awesomely unuseable, offers an awesome amount of ways to modify it (none, really awesome) , works awesomely well with my brand new NVidia card (in fallback mode), and makes my system's primary screen look like a big  smartphone, awesomely enough it does not even support a menu on my secondary monitor.
If this dumbed down desktop for idiots is the future of computing, I will stick with the past.
Useability over awesome shiny useless touchscreen gui

Gnome 3 could be Awesome but not the shell nor fedora. :-)

KDE4 was unusable in the early days, which sent people into GNOME's loving arms, and now GNOME3 is going to return the favor. Once things are added and bugs are ironed out, I think GNOME3 will be "awesome." It's certainly not, yet. I'll be installing and using KDE4 for a few releases ... G3 should be usable by F18.

I could be wrong (it has been known to happen.)

Well, I found it awesome. Started up fast, ran with no hitches for the (brief) period I used it. It was fairly snappy, and the user interface is miles better than Gnome2 with Gnome-Panel, both in terms of usability and in terms of appearance. I'll probably install it on one of my experimental partitions and, if (big if) the day-to-day experience is as smooth as the experience with the live CD, switch from Ubuntu, since I prefer Gnome-Shell by far over Unity.

And to make it more awesome, dracut starts this LiveCD :-)
