    Ok, if you insist.

    Fedora has nearly always been extremely quick (sometimes too much so) to adopt new software and features. It would be shocking if they didn't have Gnome 3. Most of the time, this means Fedora is the most technically advanced major Linux distro. It also makes it one of the buggiest. Don't use it if you don't want to play around with cutting edge new Linux software (versions). Simple as that.

    Just wait until GRUB3 comes out. You won't even need to boot an OS with that. The question is whether GRUB3 will include Xfce or just be GNOME only.

    Doesn't quite meet you requirements, but let's hope it does soon. You probably know about it but anyway : Try this

    I find that it is a bit hit and miss on machines (not always works) but when it does, it works well.
