[ We'll be shipping some sexy default themes with 2.2 Final - as if we would
blow their cover on the RC. :-) ]

Indeed. It's far uglier than Gnome 1.x.

If you haven't seen Gnome2,
then you're in for a BIG surprise,
There's heaps of new features and



Seriously though, Gnome2 is really rocking due to a lot of hard work
from a lot of people including Jeff for keeping it all on schedule.

I've been using the unstable branch day-to-day built from Jeff's own
Garnome and it's been great.

If you've got plenty of HDD space and some spare CPU capacity, build
this from Garnome and help us make it the best ever Gnome release!

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

If you're an avid GNOME user, you might want to try out our latest release
candidate. We're only a couple of weeks away from our final 2.2 release, so
we're very keen to get more people testing! :-)

  http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.1/2.1.90/sources/README

Plus, there's a list of cool new features on the 2.1 start page:

Thanks,
