Gnome 2.10 Released

Posted by timothy on from the getcher-torrent-on dept.

Mad_Rain writes "The new version of Gnome (you know, the desktop of many Linux users?) has just been released. You can even try it out with a LiveCD (bittorrent link). There is a video player and CD-ripping utility included, and the all-important new splash screen!"

    why novell/readhat instead of pushing the amount of money they do with gnome, don't pay trolltech to make Qt LGPL.

  2. THAT'S AMAZING! by schmobag · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A CD ripper AND a video player?! What will they do for an encore? Shouldn't they leave something to include in later versions? In all seriousness, one of the main complaints I hear about KDE is that it includes all these bells and whistles, thus causing bloat. If Gnome continues on the same trend, there will be even less differentiatingthe two.

  3. I gave up on Gnome by The+MESMERIC · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ages ago.
    that include most of the gnome apps
    how they've downgraded Evolution (once my fave app) - that was criminal (the stuff is still horribly unstable)

    how they messed up a previously enjoyable and very functional desktop (talk about stay-on-top buttons, etc) is beyond belief.

    don't these complaints haunt the developers?
    is it the user-base or just their own selves they've been developing for?
    I just wonder how many more fans have Gnome lost since.
