"Techpark6 has been running the Release Candidate for the last two weeks to figure out what changes are in store for GNOME 2.26. The actual changes are mostly minor and not likely to cause huge reactions.

"You'll likely hear a lot said about the GNOME desktop, but adjectives like "exciting," "cutting edge," and "revolutionary" will not be one of them . Rather, GNOME takes pride in their desktop's stability, ease of use, & its ability to get out of the user's way so the user can get to work. GNOME 2.26 continues this trend faithfully, enough so that this release's mantra could be called "steady as she goes.""
