Tests with MATE. Works great. try it!

[albfneto]

I'm still testing and using MATE in two of my Sabayon installations.
I recommend: Try MATE!
Is beautiful, Compiz compatible,
have their own applications, but also executes KDE or GNOME3 packages,

It is not only a copy of GNOME2. In my tests, and at least in my Sabayon instalations, 32 or 64 Bits, MATE is so good, and runs easier, more stable and faster than KDE or GNOME3, and also, faster than XFCE and my antique GNOME2 installations.

is easier to configure and personalize also.

It is recent, have only near 1 year, but MATE promisse. is a good graphical env. Give it a chance, try MATE.

There is some missing packages i think, at least 2: caja-dropbox and mate-system-tools

[Luthenis]

Can someone explain why those both packages are not in repos?? At least mate-system-tools is enough important to be included, also there is no ebuild for any packages as in gentoo still with gnome 2.

thanks

MATEis new, some packages may be under development or testing, example the login manager MDM.

I thought it was completed, and forgot those packages because the announcement i hant notice mdm becouse im always install lightdm

Anyways MATE runs great!
