I have mirrored the files at my website here.
using gnome has been known to cause anal infections I highly recomend KDE for linux users or install windows instead.
Seriously, though, with De Icaza chasing MS tail lights on one side, and KDE creating monolitic frameworks -- kcalc has the biggest footprint I've ever seen for a calculator -- on the other, I fail to see anything appealing with the current linux desktop solutions.

And so I'm leaving you.
Got two of them, neither one could satisfy my computing needs, so they became dust collectors
GNOME 1 AND GNOME 2 does not work together. now let me explain why.
let us asume you have a gnome 1 setup floating around somewhere on your system and now install gnome 2 (well yes you can install them together without harming (at least it is said)) but things does not work. now after i started up gnome 2 the first time i was presented with the old windowmanager and old gnome 1 preferences stuff. the reason for this is that the new gnome binaries and resources do not understand what resources are meant for gnome 1 and what for gnome 2 so they share things. your gnome 1 desktop will get gnome 2 components and your gnome 2 desktop uses gnome 1 components or simply use old core programs. the result is a totally messed up system.
they claim that things work perfectly but the sad truth is it does not. so beware before trying a gnome 2 installation on your system that still has gnome 1. or do you want to use a old windowmanager that does not know the new wm_hints with a new gnome 2 ? or do you want to use the old control center crap on your new gnome 2 ? theoretcally using them is possible but practically it fuck your entire system up. however if you trust me or not - please keep these lines in mind when trying gnome 2. another line for you. it is not worth the time messing with gnome 2. it is still too unstable to use. i wonder how they plan to release gnome 2 on end of march, this is a dream.
