GNOME have just released a new version (2.12 ) of the their award winning desktop environment and development tools for Linux (and UNIX). It looks to have various fixes and improvements over previous versions. In the release notes they even say how they have improved the mines games, now the first click is guaranteed not to be mine, now how nice is that little attention to detail.

You can download it from the GNOME 2.12 page. If you fancy giving it a try but don’t want to vape you system or do a full install you can download a boot able CD image which will let you play with desktop with the minimum o fuss.
