Subject: Re: want to revert back to gnome classic mode.
I recommend installing Xfce, which is very similar to GNOME 2 (and
also happens to be fairly comfortable for someone coming from the OS/2
Presentation Manager). It's the default in Debian Jessie, so switching
now will mean you're on the same thing when Jessie becomes stable.
# apt-get install xfce4
Does xfce come with a lot of bloated apps? I remember that gnome-core comes with plenty of bloated apps.
