I'm not sure about MATE but instructions to install the unofficial packages for Cinnamon on Fedora 16 and Fedora 17 are available [1]. [1] http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=274611
I'm not sure that documentation is correct - there were some changes in the installer for F17 that lowered that memory requirement and we explicitly tested installs with 512 MiB (the hard coded minimum for install with…
"Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 2,155,876 tested so far." Huh, that's awesome ... in a bad way. According to that page , both my system fonts and browser plugin details are unique among the…
Unfortunately, gnome-shell doesn't work well in VMs due to the fact that it requires 3D acceleration. AFAIK, virtualbox is the only platform that supports 3D emulation but I can't speak to how well it works because I…
Yes, you can upgrade that way but it's not recommended (see the warning @ the top of that page). That upgrade method isn't really tested and may or may not work depending on your system. You'd be much better off using…
Wow, it works for me with FF 7.0.1 and nouveau on Linux. A little laggy when I go fullscreen, sure but the last time I tried viewing WebGL FF told me that my 3D setup wasn't supported. Anyhow, cool presentation. It's…
"Testing is a tool for helping you, not for using to engage in a 'more pious than thou' dick-swinging my Cucumber is bigger than yours idiocy. Testing is about giving you the developer useful and quick feedback about if…
I've never applied for a job at Amazon but I have done the same thing with other companies. When I was last looking for a job, I found a couple of interesting positions whose HR systems would only take resumes in MS…
It was discussed in the CentOS forums, though: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=... To quote the forum thread: The CentOS kernel is just a rebuild, so there is no problem there. In the case of…
I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but one option would be the Fedora project. General: http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora Specific Areas: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join#Content_Writer…
Yeah, I know what you mean about solutions. Actually solving the problem at hand is a whole different world than finding the problem. I know that I've been guilty of not making/updating screenshots very frequently -…
While my statement probably doesn't covey this very well, I certainly am not an advocate of amalgamating dirty hacks or throwing any thoughts about good design out the window in the name of speed. You are quite right…
That's an interesting question. I also wonder how you would get designers to start open source projects without getting the opposite of a "developer-centric" project where developers are the second class citizens. Can…
re: 2) I can't speak for all developers, but I generally try to work with the mantra of "first make it work, then make it work well and then make it pretty or fast (depending on what the project is)". I guess that I am…
