Submitted by Uraeus on Tue, 2003-04-22 12:09. GNOME

A new GNOME Summary is out featuring stories from far and near. This week we cover the new desktop documentation from Sun Microsystems, Java integration, Gstreamer release and Rhythmbox future, the new gpfd and much more. Be sure to tune in at developer.gnome.org

Also it would need to use apt/urpmi/up3date/redcarpet or the dropline update system ideally with a notification area applet telling you of updates.

I've been planning my own distro for years,

but I'm too much a perfectionist to do it

until gnome2 has matured a wee bit.

eg. Rhythmbox and coaster need improvment.

Also the new linux kernel should hold some

great desktop related features and hopefully

X development should take off soon.

Also I think that we should not fork from the

distro we choose to use. So if we start with

redhat 9 and redhat 9.1 come out we

upgrade our base distro to 9.1 to take

advantage of new features and minimise

our overhead.

If anyone wants to discuss this in detail

i suggest you join http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-os and also read the archives.

This needs to be done and it needs to be

done well and as close to gnome.org as possible.
