The <application>GNOME 2.28.1</application> desktop is part of this release, and is the default environment used in the Fedora Desktop Live image. The Desktop Live image is a downloadable CD you can use to test the new GNOME environment with or without installing it. The image can be written to CD, or to a USB flash disk; for instructions, refer to <ulink url="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo"></ulink>.

<application>Gnote</application> is installed by default in GNOME for this release replacing <application>Tomboy</application>. <application>Gnote</application> is a port of <application>Tomboy</application> from Mono to C++ and consumes fewer resources. <application>Gnote</application> is both an applet that can sit in your GNOME panel as well as a individual application you can run within other desktop environments. Fedora Desktop Live CD since the Fedora 10 release has excluded Mono and hence Mono-based applications like <application>Tomboy</application> due to lack of space. <application>Gnote</application> will be installed by default in the Live CD as well in this release. <application>Tomboy</application> is still available as a optional alternative. If you are upgrading from the previous release you will not be migrated to <application>Gnote</application> and will continue to have <application>Tomboy</application>. <application>Tomboy</application> users can migr
ate easily to <application>Gnote</application> as it shares the file format and a plugin is available in <application>Gnote</application> that will automatically import <application>Tomboy</application> notes on first run. Many of the <application>Tomboy</application> plugins have been ported to <application>Gnote</application>. The following plugins are available as part of <application>Gnote</application>:
