Safe for Children!
------------------

If you're a big fan of GNOME, but haven't had the courage to install one of
the 2.1.x unstable releases, now is the time to give it a try! This release
candidate represents the final GNOME 2.2 release, pending some last minute
bugfixes and translations. It's very stable for daily use. We're very keen
to see more testers play with the new code before we give it the big "TWO
POINT TWO FINAL" rubber stamp.

Bottom line: If you have children, RC2 won't hurt them; and if you don't, it
won't make you pregnant. Have fun!

Build Requirements
------------------

  - The tarballs included in the release. :-)

  - Some very basic packages not distributed with this release, such as
    image libraries, popt and freetype. These should all be included with or
    available for your distribution.

  - Xft2 and fontconfig for superior font rendering and configuration, from
    http://fontconfig.org/

  - Docbook DTD 4.1.2, Docbook XSL stylesheets and a valid system catalogue
        file for scrollkeeper (which in turn is required by many desktop
        components for documentation).


Happy testing!
