Debian Announces Sarge Will Include GNOME 2.8

El Cubano writes "A recent posting to the debian-devel-announce mailing list announces that Sarge will release with GNOME 2.8. From the announcement: 'After requests and a detailed proposal from the GNOME team, we accepted an upload of GNOME 2.8 into sid, and, via the usual mechanisms, into sarge. We should mention that the release team was running out of objections to GNOME 2.8 in unstable that the GNOME team hasn't satisfactorily addressed; this, and the fact that they have demonstrated good reaction times of late are the main reasons why we're approving it despite the timing.'"

Unfortunately, the problems with security that Gnome has (namely unchecked buffer overruns) are still lurking there.

Why don't you submit a bug of these supposed overruns that you've found then? This post is just a general troll anyway.

In my experience, X is amazingly slower than Windows for all UI stuff - including percieved mouse and keyboard latency.
