GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta 3 Released
damiam writes "GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta 3 has been released. Changes include new versions of Nautilus, Yelp, and the control center, as well as bugfixes all around. Download it from gnome.org or one of the mirrors." Jeff Waugh adds: "The possibility of a complete beer freeze at GUADEC has inspired another kickarse release of the GNOME 2.0 Desktop. It's awesome stuff, definitely worth trying out. You should find GARNOME handy if there are no packages available for your distro."
One of my good friends was offered some GPL software at a party by a guy who said it was free.
Of course it wasn't free at all, since after he started using the GPL software his mind was changed. He wouldn't hang out with his old friends and if he did, he just insulted them for using the wrong software.
After a year or so, he was so GPL'ed out, that he would yell at people at in the street and insist on that ever software he ever saw should be GPL.
I once showed him a nice program that Microsoft made on the base of a BSD framework, and he got so loud and wild screaming, that the Police had to take him to a hospital, where I visited him today.
I think it is sad, and I hope that the young people of today may learn from this story.
How in the world do you linux people put up with those shitty ass fonts?
Those screenshots for the new Gnome have just about the ugliest fonts I've ever seen in my life, next to the rest of linux that is.
I just have trouble believing that in the year 2002 you guys still don't have nice hinted fonts shipping and in-use by default with X.
I'm looking at these screenshots on my Titanium PowerBook G4, and I just glance back and forth between the screenshots and Aqua, and I laugh.
