Where/When can i get my hands on a testing copy of gnome 3???

Well, i would like to try gnome 3, just wondering when, or if, the alpha was released yet, and where i could get in when it is released.

There is a Launchpad PPA for the GNOME 3 desktop, but of course, GNOME 3 is still heavily under construction. I certainly wouldn't recommend installing it on a production computer, or on a computer that you can't live without.

Now, I haven't tested GNOME 3 myself. I have no idea how well it will work for you, but you can get it by typing the following:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome3-session


But really, you should probably look into this more before actually doing it. Be careful. :)

I do thank you, although i do see it has a small bit of work to go.
