Ars Technica Looks At GNOME 2.6 [updated]
The Original Yama writes "Ars Technica takes a look inside the GNOME 2.6 Desktop & Developer Platform, due for release any minute now. It builds upon an earlier review of the GNOME 2.5 development series and their own examination of GNOME 2.4."
darthcamaro writes "internetnews.com is running a story about the release of GNOME 2.6 today. They actually got a hold of Miguel de Icaza who had some real interesting stuff to say about it and the Linux Desktop in general. 'de Icaza told internetnews.com that a simpler interface has been the goal of GNOME since at least version 2.0.'" Update: 03/31 21:59 GMT by T : sn0wman3030 was one of many submitters to link to the GNOME 2.6 start page, including links to screenshots, documentation, and source downloads.
use a real OS like Windows XP
or you can listen to the Linux zealots explain in about 60 steps how to recompile your kernel and configure the USB drivers
File selector, after 4 years, finally it doesn't suck (and it's even a gnome thing but a gtk one)
Spatial nautilus, annoying to me. Good thing i can disable it.
Better performance in gnome-vfs. Not more the horrid performance of 2.4.
Improved epiphany. Bah. Back to firefox
Not much else. Back to kde for me
Open Source Java Web Forum with LDAP authentication
and yet Windows and Mac OS seem not to have the same problems.
always willing to blame everyone but yourselves
until gnome comes up with an integrated all-in-one development IDE ala' kdevelop, I'm not using it.
Well, that, and because gnome is slow as ass compared to kde.
When was the last time a release of Windows was delayed by a security intrusion?
Will Slashdotters continue to make fun of Microsoft security when GNOME, Debian, Gentoo, GNU/FSF, and more have all been hacked in the span of the last six months?
I totally agree! But, I expect some moron to start yabbering on about how great Gnome is because they concentrate on a quality UI and have a HIG.
It's great to have a standard and to require your apps to follow that standard but, when the standard is bizarre, counter intuitive, or just stinks that makes you UI and apps....
Its GTK library is one of my favorites to develop with.
Are you mad? I suggest you take a serious look at the development options for your desktop environ of choice.
See you, space cowboy...
let me guess...your a 55 year old Mac Classic die hard that will never upgrade to OS X because your principals just don't allow it.
I am the Alpha and the Omega-3
hey troll bitch.
post a link to gentoo being hacked.
i'm waiting....
i didn't think so, cause gentoo wasn't hacked..a mirror site running a different operating system was.
also, what you are pointing out is (minus gentoo), that THREE linux installations have been hacked.
3.
is that all you have?
from someone in the security field, I can tell you that security breaches on companies windows systems happen 30 TIMES.
a day.
in one average sized city.
but you aren't going to hear about it, because the CIO is shitting his pants, and most of the time quietly calls us in under the guise of a "standard security audit"...all the while trying to keep the CEO/COO from finding out.
windows servers are being owned, around the planet, at an incredible rate...but the whole thing is "hush hush".
the whole Microsoft industry is like that...and it spreads to the customers.
don't rock the boat, sweep it under the rug.
on the other hand, sure quite a few linux/*bsd installations get owned, but they are underrepresented, and most of the server owners come out and tell EVERYONE.
You see it all the time at LUGS.."hey joe my box got owned"
so Gnome, Debian and GNU got hit.
big fucking deal.
they'll own up to it, fix it and move on. stronger this time.
what about the 574 other distributions, and 1893 other linux organizations?
what about those?
no AC.
I've got you pegged.
and I've got your name, address and phone.
Next time you post, I'm gonna post your info to slashdot, usenet, iirc and put it in a windows/Outlook trojan/worm so that just about everyone on the planet who uses a computer, will know what kind of puke you are.
Your second statement is not necessarily related to the first one. Rather, it boils down to this question: which one would you prefer?
