Install Cinnamon On Fedora Or openSUSE

Cinnamon, the GNOME Shell fork created for Linux Mint by Clement Lefebvre, is available for openSUSE and Fedora.

For Fedora 16, Cinnamon can be installed through a repository created by a Fedora user - add the repository and install Cinnamon, use the commands below:

su -
curl http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-cinnamon.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cinnamon.repo
yum install cinnamon

Then log out and select Cinnamon in the GDM login screen:

For openSUSE 12.1, you can download Cinnamon from HERE - this will also install the official GNOME Shell extensions, tweaked to work with Cinnamon.

Once installed, you need to use dconf-editor if you want to enable the extensions: navigate to org > cinnamon > enabled extensions and add the extensions you want to enable. Example:

['system-monitor@paradoxxx.zero.gmail.com', 'apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org', 'dock@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org', 'drive-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org', 'places-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org', 'windowsNavigator@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org', 'xrandr-indicator@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org']

Please note that I've only tested Cinnamon on Fedora 16.
