Re: Problem trying to update my extension to work on 3.8

[alex diavatis <alexis diavatis gmail com>]

Hello guys,

You can buy a 16G memory stick (is about 12 Euros) and install Fedora 19 there that has Gnome 3.8.

Is  actually faster than virtual box. 

You can check on internet for tutorials how to make it, or I can also write up one.

Great! :)
