Preview: Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, GNOME 2.20

,----[ Quote ]
| Just like Eugenia yesterday, I also upgraded my laptop's Ubuntu Feisty 
| installation to Gutsy a few days ago. The upgrade process went completely 
| awry, though, so I was forced to do a fresh install. Not a bad thing, as it 
| gave me the opportunity to take a look at Ubuntu's soon-to-be-released Gutsy 
| Gibbon with GNOME 2.20    
|
| [...]
|
| Overall, however, I am simply extremely impressed by the new GNOME and the 
| upcoming Ubuntu release. You can see the developers have put a lot of effort  
| into not just cramming in new features, but also making sure that existing 
| features work and look better. This is the first time that I truly feel as if 
| I am using a product when using Ubuntu, instead of a collective effort to 
| make desktop Linux suck less. The gaps that need to be filled are getting 
| smaller each release, and this particular release closed some important gaps 
| already.      
|
| If there ever is going to be a 'year of the desktop' for Linux, the 2007/2008 
| season definitely is a strong contender.

Coming from Thom, that's a Wow reaction. He is a Vista/Microsoft fan.
