[ale] Next CentOS-7.0 question

[Jim Kinney]

Sort of. Everything is set to fly in as needed so there's no visual
clutter. At least the RHEL/CentOS version has an application menu at the
top as well as the favorites fly in from the side.

Gnome handles all that flying around stuff :-)  I'm not happy with the work
flow being a few clicks longer in places. The hot stuff concept extends
only to applications and not files (without some serious setup-fu)

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
