Fedora 20 Installed

I went ahead and installed Fedora 20 on an old machine circa 2007.
This desktop computer has dual core intel and 2 GB RAM.

It's been a while since I've tried Fedora again, but I keep getting good feedback from friends using it. I'm a GNOME fan so I can't stay away from a distribution whose default desktop is GNOME.

The last time i tried GNOME in Fedora I was disappointed with Evolution. I got Evolution up and running my Gmail now. I have contacts and calendar automatically from online accounts.

Gnucash and LibreOffice are a must have for my tasks.

Gnome 3.14 was released today. If it makes it to Fedora 21 that's coming out December, I surely will upgrade this machine to the newest.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.
