Re: want to revert back to gnome classic mode.

thanks alot guyz, i am actually a server side guy using mostly terminal window. i am new to gnome and xfce.

so my question is, are all the applications from gnome will be available in xfce, is it like a layer on the top of gnome 3. are all gnome utilities will be available as well? like system monitor etc.

Basically, your options are:
1) Install XFCE desktop
apt-cache show xfce4
http://www.xfce.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfce

2) Install Cinnamon desktop
apt-cache show cinnamon # sid only/ incomplete?
http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_(software)

3) Install Mate desktop
apt-cache show mate-desktop # sid only?
http://mate-desktop.org/

4) Gnome plugins to make it look more like gnome classic
