Remember last time GNOME released ahead of schedule? When the core components of 1.0 were (allegedly) rushed out the door to meet a LinuxWorld announcement deadline or some such? Seems so very long ago. Here's hoping this release comes out a little smoother....

Oh yeah, almost forgot: congratulations to Jeff and the rest of the GNOME release team. Releasing anything on time is hard. Releasing this much ahead of schedule must have been much harder. Very cool, though. Almost creepy cool.

Well, I've been using the Release Candidates as they have come out and things have been pretty smooth. The new stuff too, even. I like acme, for example, it allows me to use the multimedia keys on my keyboard as they were meant to. And I finally get the font config dialog I saw when I played with Redhat 8.0 on my Debian system so I can mess with the hinting settings with the font config tool instead of gconf-editor :) The theme settings seem to work better than they were before, but with a few exceptions. So, it's not perfect, but it's quite good.
