Re: [orca-list] trying to use Orca full-time, have some questions

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Sonar is running Gnome 3.10.  It is Ubuntu 13.10.  See Jonathan's prior
post.  I am personally using Fedora 20 Beta version so, no, the distribution
I am using for Gnome 3.10 is not ready for production.  Ubuntu 13.10 is
though.  I don't see why it can't be used for daily usage.  It is the stable
release of Gnome.  

BR,
Alex M

HI Alex,
Can you give me some more inputs on this.
I wish to try gnome shell 3.10 and my first question is which distro.
Secondly, can it be used for daily full time purpose?
I am still stuck with Unity 2d and it is kind of good enough.
If you say gnome shell 3.10 is even better, then I am tempted to try it out.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
