Re: Getting GNOME page on gnome.org

Hi
Andre Klapper

Linux mint is using MGSE ie the gnome-extensions created by them on gnome3
i dont think ur wrong here they configured(modified) linux mint with
some extensions
to make it more user friendly
here's the link http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_lisa_whatsnew.php

and about ubuntu i dont think they are using GNOME on their default
distribution
according to distrowatch its unity for ubuntu and GNOME for linux mint
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mint
