Feature Preview of Gnome 2.8

Posted by michael on from the gnome-man's-land dept.

Leonardo writes "The GNOME foundation should release the new version of this desktop environment on the 15th of September. While we waiting for version 2.8, Foot Notes has a link that explains what's new in this release. Improvements include both core parts (like VFS and Nautilus) and UI modules, like a new applet manager, an improved gconf editor and a new theme. In addition there are some proposed modules like new system tools and a new VNC server. Take a look at Davyd Madeley' site (mirror) if you want to view some sweet screenshots."

    Check out the screenshots - they have a shortcut to Adequacy.org's most infamous article "Is Your Son a Computer Hacker?"

    When will they rename Gnome 2.8 to Gnome 8?

    If Sun can do it....

    "Gnome seems to want to be MacOS ten years ago, as opposed to KDE who are trying to be Windows five years ago."

    So in the end, they're both really going for the same objective?
