    Between Covad, Loki, and god knows who else having financial trouble, it's really nice to see a company going in the right direction and hiring people. Especially in an area where Linux has been labeled as lacking, namely in the GUI department. I can't wait to see what GNOME has in store next. Good luck and congrats Tim!

    I'm having trouble believing that this Gnome-related story wasn't ended with a "Personally, I use Konqueror..." or "...even though KDE does blah blah....".

    I think this is a first, ladies and gentlemen.
