“GNOME is among the most widely used Linux desktop
environments out there, if not *the* most widely used one. GNOME
Shell is the latest incarnation of GNOME which is still undergoing
heavy development. Months ago, we captured the evolution of GNOME
Shell in detail and I think its time for another major GNOME Shell
review.“Installing and Testing GNOME Shell
“Last time when we reviewed GNOME Shell from Ubuntu, downloading
and installing GNOME Shell was the easiest part because of the
ricotz testing ppa which we have discussed before. But everything
has changed in the last few months. Ricotz ppa is not updated
anymore and if you want to download and install the latest GNOME
Shell in Ubuntu, you need to build GNOME Shell from GIT. This is no
easy thing to do. WebUpd8 has a incredible(and constantly updated)
article describing how to do it if you are interested, but I chose
to go with the GNOME Shell Live CD method instead.”
