GNOME 2.12 released

Submitted by stro on Wed, 2005-09-07 13:45. Gnome 2.x

Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.12, the latest
version of the popular, multi-platform Free desktop environment.

Released on schedule, to the day, it is the culmination of six months effort
by GNOME contributors around the world: hackers, documentors, usability and
accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies,
artists, users and testers. Due to their hard work, we have another great
release to be proud of - thanks very much to every contributor!

You'll find plenty of information about GNOME 2.12 in our extensive release
notes, linked from the 2.12 start page.

Meanwhile, GNOME developers around the world are looking forward to working
on fresh new features for the next version of GNOME, due in March, 2006.

yes, why?

Why would someone come on a gnome forum and talk about OSX as if gnome were just a cheap stopgap between windows and OSX until they have a few extra $$.

Don't Macheads get it? We actually really truly like gnome. Not just because we are too poor to buy a Mac but because we like gnome more than OSX!

Get it? Please, shut the hell up about OSX becuase not everyone thinks it is so great and to people who really like gnome it is insulting and really just annoying that you talk casually as if it were a given that everyone wants mac. I don't. I like gnome and linux.

Given the choice just between Mac and WindowsXP I would 100% chance choose XP! Is that shocking? I'm serious. Mac IMHO sucks and is tailored to idiots who get wood over stupid graphics and pretty boxes. Same crowd that likes Volkwagen Beetles with the fake flower in the dash.

This is why I say OSX is for gay canadians. Because, if you think about it, it really is just for gay canadians.

(moral: don't be too quick to dismiss simple wisdom just because you don't understand its subtle depths.

Canada, Mac, homos. Om.)
