[ale] Fedora 15

[Rich Faulkner]

Interesting link.  Thanks for sharing Scott!

I'm in the process of commissioning a new desktop and was originally
planning on F14 but may take a look at F15 out of curiosity of Gnome3
(but I have to say that I like Gnome2) and am intrigued at Jim's comment
that it looks nothing like Window$ 7.
