I know several of us have been speaking about why GNOME 2x, which that is fine and all, but really lets be problem solvers not complainers.

I do...  using archlinux 
the repo is gnome2, just add ....
[gnome2]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://gnome2:81/$arch
before the [core]  repo
in a new installed archlinux (with only the base and xorg) installed
than, install gnome2 with the command pacman -Sy gnome2

I would let the "gurus" deal with gnome3, I will stay with gnome2, as
I primary use FreeBSD, that is still in the gnome 2.32 alive and well...

gnome3 provides a new "solution" that is quite different from the gnome2  I am 
only letting users choose... those who wants gnome2 will have it... 

I do not expect to be better of worse than gnome2, it is just a matter of choice
as my servers (and I have a lot...) uses gnome2, why the laptops should use another Destkop Environmet (DE)?????
users access the FreeBSD servers using vnc, and logs in using gdm 2.18.. but windows is too unstable to 
work with, so I needed an more stable operating system for laptops, so I choose Linux, Now they access their
network drive using webdav and the same interface, with the same look and feel. 
the same laptop must be used by several persons (not at the same time) but each account 
protectaed from the other, for example, the notebook belongs to the company, so when
person A needs to travel with it and make a presentation, answer emails, it must not
interfere with person B that will use the same laptop next week in another trip to make another presentation.
