With all the recent brouhaha about how we are configuring
the desktops in Red Hat Linux, I thought it would be useful
to step back a bit and try to explain briefly just what what
we are doing and why we are doing it.

Texstar of pclinuxonline, recently posted a bunch of screenshots from Redhat's 3rd beta release known as null. Redhat has made a huge effort via the use of similar icons and themes to make their packaging of GNOME and KDE resemble each other more closely . What do you think? (Poll Attached)

OSnews has a review that spotlights some of the RedHat customizations made to their packaging of GNOME 2.0 in the Limbo beta:
What Limbo 2, as I've been calling it, offers is more than eye candy, although that's what some will call it. It's more than just Gnome2, although some will call it that too. It's a true, fully functional system that can be used as a server, a workstation, or even a plain vanilla desktop PC. It is functional enough for the coder, the administrator, and, just maybe, your grandmother.

For those of you that use HP's Gnomehide GNOME packages, Havoc writes:
I've updated gnomehide to current versions of the GNOME 1.x packages,
and GTK+ 2.0.0. However, I don't have time to rebuild the GNOME 2
devel platform until next week at best, and the current packages won't
work with GTK 2, so I took them down for now.
I had to rearrange how gnomehide was generated so I think I may have
inadvertently "lost" some application packages, in addition to losing
the GNOME 2 packages. So if something is missing just let me know.
Hopefully GNOME 2 platform packages will return next week or so.
