IT IS A TROJON
There is a patch available for Gnome 2.0 which allows for Direct OpenGL rednering for antialiasing, etc. On my system, it speeds things up considerably. Right now, its in alpha, and it only works with nVida cards. You can get it here.

Gnome 2 is obviously far superior to KDE 3
and might I say that this is great news for Linux. For too long users have been having to remember filenames during save operations and now that this barrier to entry has disappeared I think we will see a large influx of users coming over from Microsoft. I think the only remaining problems are font management, DVD watching and support for IE.
KDE 3 is obviously far superior to Gnome 2
For the sake of argument: there is no advantage. GNOME is a kludge. Use KDE.

I read some moronic comment yesterday from one of you grape smugglers that only those who post at -1 have the right to claim first post, therefore all ac's are denied by default.
.sig's and other stupid inane bullshit like that. AC's are just here to troll. you fagits can go ahead and stand aside.
what horseshit.
AC's own you. Your logged in faggotry only supports slashdot. AC's own this first post and all other fp's, CLIT or no CLIT. we don't use this "karma" shit, we don't have gay little
plz fix kthx.
It's pretty sad when your best and brightest are put to shame by a bored college student's one-off class project to re-do Windows' shell to make it more customizable, isn't it?
Easy does it!

Heres a mirror they forgot to add!
Why do you like this CRAPPY RIP OFF of KDE that some mexican twat thought of while he was masturbating because of the General Pissing Licence! KDE is truly free now, the ONlY desktop! Download it now!!!!!
I disagree. You'll find that the immature, sexually deviant teenagers who frequent porn sites are with little exception Windows users. Serious Linux hackers have no need for such tasteless pursuits. We "get off" on our own programming aptitude.
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
I may be a conspiracy theorist but I now know why M$NBC released this story today of all times. Are they (Micro$oft) trying to steal some thunder from Linux?
if common sense was common, wouldn't everyone have it?
What's "lazy" is their shitty Apache software, that just drops connections sporadically instead of degrading gracefully, like real web servers do. Fuck, even Microsoft figured that shit out.
little punk ass douchebag karma whore.
