Get an Early Taste of Linux Mint 12 (PCWorld)

PCWorld
looks
at new features coming in Linux Mint 12, due for release later this
month. "
Linux Mint 12 will ease the transition to the controversial
new GNOME 3 desktop by adding a layer on top that lets you use GNOME 3 in a
traditional way. MGSE, or Mint GNOME Shell Extensions, is the name of that
layer, and it gives users numerous options with respect to GNOME 3. For a
full-fledged GNOME 3 experience, for instance, users can disable all MGSE
components; conversely, by enabling all of them you'll get a GNOME 3
desktop that's similar to what you've been using before. Alternatively,
users can also pick and choose which components they want to enable for a
custom-designed "middle of the road.""
