        Can't be. Fedora 15, just out, is the first to include Gnome 3; 
and SL is another clone, like CentOS, of RHEL. I don't remember which 
Fedora release RHEL 6 is based on, but it's several before F 15.

        (Fwiw, I'll be one of those skipping F15 till Gnome 3 has changed 
a bunch, or else  running Xfce or even KDE 4 on it. After several days' 
look, I see more new tricks than are worth this old dog's while to learn, 
alas!)
