[01:17] <tlm> Any way we can get Mate/Gnome2 instead of XFCE?
[14:00] <eichi> hello. ubuntu studio ask me for dist upgrade since some weeks. is this supported in ubuntu studio?
[14:02] <holstein> eichi: sure
[14:02] <holstein> would i do it?
[14:02] <holstein> probably not
[14:02] <holstein> i installed 11.04 in virtualbox and tested the upgrade to 11.10 personally
[14:02] <holstein> worked fine, except at reboot, you need to manually choose the XFCE session
[14:03] <holstein> and the XFCE desktop is quite 'default' looking
[14:03] <holstein> eichi: i am personally running 10.04 still on my production machine
[14:03] <holstein> i say, do what makes you feel comfortable...
[14:03] <eichi> okay. I have to default gnome desktop without 3d things, means very simple
[14:04] <holstein> sure
[14:04] <holstein> eichi: gnome2 is gone in 11.10
[14:04] <holstein> thats not an ubuntu, nor ubuntustudio decision
[14:04] <holstein> ubuntu is doing what it has always done... provide the latest gnome packages
[14:05] <holstein> gnome3 is very different from gnome2, so we moved to XFCE
[14:05] <eichi> of there are only some config errors like choosing session or removing a config file, I dont have problems (linux server admin, and some linux systems support) I just dont want to have a totaly demaged system because ubuntu studio does not support dist update or destroys the package structure or whatever. But if it "works normaly half the way without problems" then I will try it
[14:06] <holstein> eichi: you shouldnt have any issues on the backbone like that, nor are there really any big reasons to upgrade
[14:07] <eichi> hm okay
