That's clever. The magazine is not yet released, surely.

I presume you mean LXF152.

Aww I guess you don't subscribe? we generally get the magazine 5 or so days before it goes on sale

That's exactly what I did to produce the DVD, it's a standard 11.10 with Gnome 3 added and the default theme and desktop changed to suit.

Yes, I could do that. It is stable now? Previously I'd read that installing Gnome 3 was problematic.

Hi

I am very keen to move onto the re-spin Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome 3, however (guess what?) i am already running 64 bit "standard" Ubuntu. i am assuming that the re-spin is 32 bit - is there a 64 bit version anywhere I can pickup?

cheers
