is there a way of keep using gnome 2?

Yo there Im wondering if theres a way to use gnome 2.3x in the newest fedora 17, opensuse 12.1 or the cooker version on mandriva?
I just see gnome 3 like a toy, a very eyecandy toy, but it lacks several funcionality of the 2.x series. Thanks

 

I'm not sure if GNOME2 is in the repositories. Did you check with yum or yast?

 

I hatehatehate the new Gnome 3... but it seems that Gnome 2 only continues to exist in CentOS - and I've no idea how to get it into Fedora

 

Well Thanks anyway al giva a try to centos!!!
Cheers!!

There is the MATE (gnome2 fork) DE, which seems is available under fedora 17.

It is in constant development. It was firstly born here.
