GNOME 2 in Sid this Sunday

DebianPlanet Reports:
Christian Marillat and Colin Walters have completed all the steps required to transition GNOME 2 from experimental into sid, and will be doing so on Sunday: announcement here. Note the following bit: "Christian Marillat and I have written transition scripts, and they have been tested by us on some .gnome directories, but no one else I'm aware of has tested them yet. So if you haven't helped us out by testing them already, then you will be forced to anyways this Sunday :)".So, to all GNOME 1.4 sid users out there, you may want to spend some time this weekend to ensure your configurations are going to be safe come this Sunday.

Are you using that bloody fake ass wm Metacity? It sucks eggs. But that's only my opinion. I can still do everything I did before by using Sawfish. Metacity is for Redhat. If you want the functionality you had before, use Sawfish.

I like Gnome2. It will get better with time. Thanks to the good hard working people at Debian who managed to get this into Sid. I'm having a good time.
