[SOLVED]Gnome 2 in Arch Linux ??
Hi all
after installing the base system "Arch" it's time to setup the graphical interface so my question is :
how to install Gnome 2 classic , I have installed Gnome before with this command :
pacman -S install Gnome Gnome-extrabut I got the Gnome shell not the classic 1.
so what's the command to get the Gnome classic "version 2.3 or later".
I wanted to run Compiz on Arch but I couldn't use it because of the Gnome shell.

Please try to understand at least the basics of Arch. Arch uses the latest stable versions from upstream projects - gnome 2 does not qualify.
Have a look at Mate, it might satisfy your need to turn back the clock.

thanks for the reply.
I'm learning day after day.
I have tried openSUSE and other distros but I really feel like I'm not learning anything with these distros because they have everything done for you just like Windows 7.

Learning is good. Just don't expect that the community here will fill the Windows 7-like gap in your computing life; read the wiki and search the web before posting.
