i enabled 3d acceleration and looked at gnome shell and i gotta say it isn't.. i mean it's not unusable. unity just angered me, but gnome shell feels a little more intuitive. looking at all your apps is still quite clumbsy tho... however, on my ideal system i don't have a bunch of apps any way. text editor, graphics viewer editor, browser and email, terminal and file manager. i'm good.

lol that system is long formatted. i was just testing the waters. i've got it all setup proper now with a user account, sudo, and my daemons setup. when i need root i sudo nautilus. i'm having problems getting wakka and other pacman frontends working tho i don't really understand a lot about the important system packages.

I never used a pacman frontend.Some users say they tend to over complicate things and I tend to agree with them. pacman -Syu package_name and pacman -Scc to clean cache and pacman -Ss to search the package database.
-Ss is just what i needed thanks! i haven't tried it yet but that sounds right. i prefer to install via command line, but i like how in synaptic for example, you can see what is available before you go googling around when you could be using pacman. i keep forgetting that command line apps do have help docs n such lol

Well to be honest on a debian based distro I too prefer synaptic because sometimes apt-get's output is too complicated for my punny mind.Glad I could be of help.
