Gnome 3.0 - coming soon to a distro near you

MyBroadband wrote:Gnome, the desktop environment favoured by the likes of Ubuntu Linux, is getting an overhaul. For users this means a number of things, including a new way of interacting with files and a new way of launching and managing applications.

The existing Gnome desktop, version 2.x, is now close on eight years old.

There have been many changes along the way but the underlying design was launched in June 2002.

During that time many things have changed and computer users face new challenges, including greater volumes of data, new form factors (think netbooks) and cloud computing.

With users swamped with information, the old models of interacting with information are in desperate need of an overhaul. KDE, the other popular Linux desktop, is already well-advanced down this road, and now Gnome is about to do the same.

Cool, gnome is my favourite desktop environment, but a little bit of sprucing up would be very welcome... :D
