Gnome 2.10 Released
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!"
New screenies here.
It's only a matter of time.
Does anyone else find something wrong with the progress/height chart on the new splash screen?

There are 01 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary, and me.
Now with no new exciting features!
in the actual article. At least we still have the splash screens we can smoke their server with.
Err, that should be "KDE trolls are koming"!
OK, that's my contribution to the obligatory stupid DE-related comments. I won't throw in a "But I just emerged 2.8!" (even though I just did).

Finally,

This one, I am not so sure of. Geeks don't leave the house! Why couldn't they make an applet that checks how much of their parents money they've spent living in their basements? How about how much more money they need before Scott Bakula will agree to do the next season of Enterprise? THAT would have been helpful.
That's such a long post that I think you should've included a BitTorrent link to it.
Personally I've always thought they both sucked. In the meantime I've fallen for every damn "E .17 RELEASED!" April Fool's Day joke on Slashdot ever since .16.5 was released.
I never pay attention to my calendar so come that fateful day I go "HOLY CRAP! FINALLY!" and tell atleast 6 people.
Then my world crashes around me.
Blessed be he who reads this post, Cursed be he who tells my boss.
But spatial Nautilus is simple. One window per folder, just a menu and a parent folders button.
Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
Getting modded funny when you're serious is the ultimate bitch slap.
