“Federico Mena really wanted to install GNOME on the machine in
our booth at LinuxWorld. I wimped out and wouldn’t let him do it.
Lo siento, Federico, but I was too paranoid to make any on-the-spot
modifications to our primary booth machine. However, I’ve since
joined the club! 🙂 Three days ago I installed Red Hat 6.0,
including GNOME, on my desktop system.”

“I’m quite impressed.”

“Red Hat 6.0 looks like a good release, and I’ll definitely be
using GNOME from now on.”
