Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Gnome Classic desktop
I simply want to make a link to a folder on the desktop.
I found these instructions:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
(which is not necessary since the Software centere shows gnome-panel as already installed)
Create new launcher
Open the terminal and run the following command
Code
gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Deskto
This question is primarily for my own education. I first tried to install Fedora 18 choosing the Gnome desktop option, but the desktop was unusable after logging in (the appearance was of a font with mostly blank characters and occasional colored backgrounds). Later, I was successful at an install with the LXDE desktop choice.

I installed only the base debian package and during installation I did not select any of GUI window manager, laptop, or system utilities.
So basically I'm running debian from command line, now I want to set up a GUI just for desktop. For this I tried installing gnome-core by
apt-get install gnome-core
But is shows gnome-core as a 400MB archive, is the core package so big?
i have installed compiz settings through ubuntu software center and i have enabled the desktop cube and desktop rotation but when i tried to rotate the desktop it is not working.

The GNOME Shell redefines user interactions with the GNOME desktop. In particular, it offers new paradigms for launching applications, accessing documents, and organizing open windows in GNOME. Later, it will introduce a new applets eco-system and offer new solutions for other desktop features, such as notifications and contacts management.

If I start gnome-panel from xterm using command "gnome-panel &" it works fine.

With Gnome 2 no longer an option we lost one of the most important upstream components our Linux Mint desktop was based on. Our entire focus shifted from innovating on the desktop, to patching existing alternatives such as Gnome Shell.
