I have used gnome for the last 10 years and its often t'd me off so much I have almost, but not quite made the jump to KDE (I did install KDE on all my desktops though :) Some of my colleagues are using "unity" on ubuntu and that looks nice and suits my workflow more than the current gnome, and far more than gnome3. Is it possible to install/use unity on gentoo? BillK
