A GNOME 2.8 preview Posted Aug 2, 2004 16:31 UTC (Mon) by maceto (guest, #16498) [Link] (3 responses) grrr can`t wait for Novell 1 with something like gnome 2.8, nice smooth fonts, dvd player (could be) new realplayer,yast,novell software etc Fedora is in between, is how I feal it- it has what gnoem have on slack, you have to use some times on it, but then I`d rater go with slack. But some nice kde distro`s soon to be out: http://www.lycoris.com/images/ai2menus.png http://www.lycoris.com/sneakpeek/sneakpeek12.php etc, but I have to say- gnome look better, we don`t all want YELLOW BRIGHT colors, that XP and MAC can do for us, some want a more traditional feal to it, I like to compare a ferrari (yellow as such) with Aston Martin. Bet you understand what is what.

That is customizable. Even on KDE.

A lot of my frustrations with Gnome are succinctly detailed at this project's website http://www.goneme.org (if it is working).
