Now downloading the live image linked from the test day page and will
use that as soon as I get a block of time to test.

I did take an hour this evening to run a test on a laptop which has
nVidia Corporation G86M [Quadro FX 360M] graphics and almost all the
tests passed so I was quite impressed at this stage of the game! (Yes
I have added a line to the test matrix)

There are some things that are no longer there that I am not enamoured
with though, and one is that I have relied on for quite some time is
gnome-applet-netspeed to give me an instantaneous indication of
download speed when I am pulling files - since gnome applets will not
be supported in gnome 3 there appears no way, that I am aware of, to
get the same functionality in gnome 3 - unless someone can tell me
what I have missed?

However in general gnome 3 seems pretty polished given that it is
still a couple of months before it is released and also that this is
running in f15 alpha - and it is good to see a large array of test
results in the matrix too. From my own single machine tested I am
really quite impressed! I hope that I see similar levels of
performance from the other machines that I get a chance to test too!
