Upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10  brings in also the goodness of what the Gnome 3.2 has to offer to the Ubuntu users. Check out our Guide on how to install ubuntu 11.10, to try  it out. Wether you love Unity or Gnome Shell or Gnome Classic, this cute nifty tool called Sushi previewer from the Gnome 3 stable is going to help you preview things quickly.
The power of Gnome Shell lies in its extensionability. It is this power that transforms the barely unusable vanilla Gnome Shell desktop environement into a powerful and extremely  usable and productive desktop environment. Gnome shell has a number of useful installations to enhance the user experience.  To learn how to install and enable them using the Gnome Tweak tool check out  our post on Installing and using Gnome Shell.  In this post we will look at some must have Gnome shell extensions
This is a sequel to Gnome 3 and Shell - A Complete User Guide [ Part 1] and Gnome 3 and Shell - A Complete User Guide [ Part 2]. Gnome Shell is like the Dead Man's Chest in the movie, Pirates of the Carribean, its ugly and hidden in a distant land, but once you find it and unlock it, you will have the complete control over a invincible ship. The key to make Gnome Shell "invincible" is the Shell extensions.
This is a sequel to Gnome 3 and Shell - A Complete User Guide [ Part 1] which talked about the Installation. The Gnome Shell by default is a 'unholy mess'. Using it directly is like living in a unfurnished house. The "Gnome Tweak Tool" helps to put all the furniture and helps us elevate the 'unholy mess' to a 'holy mess' with which we can live.
Gnome 3 with Gnome Shell is not something that everyone would want to try, after being called as "unholy mess" by Linus Torvalds himself [1]. It has a number of shortcomings for a Gnome 2 user; you don't even get a desktop to put your shortcuts or files :'( . Then why would someone still want to install Gnome 3 and try it? Because It can be customized to suit your needs and almost solve every shortcoming you cry about (including desktop shortcuts :) ). So let us see what Gnome 3 holds.
The Grub Boot order is the order in which the various boot entries are executed in by the GRUB. This is insignificant for the single operating (Ubuntu only) systems. Whereas in case of multiboot systems (having an additional OS apart from Ubuntu), the boot order decides the default OS and the order in which the OSes are listed in the GRUB menu.This list apart from containing entries for the operating systems, also containes entries like Memtest+ which may never be used by the user. All the entries are listed in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file. We just need to re-arrange them to suit our needs.
