GNOME 2.20 officially released

GNOME 2.20 officially released: "The GNOME community announced a new release today after six months of development. GNOME is a desktop environment primarily used on Linux and other open-source platforms. GNOME 2.20 includes numerous improvements and new features that benefit users, administrators, and developers.

GNOME's image viewer features a significantly improved image collection interface and a new Open With menu. The Nautilus file manager can now display a disk usage pie chart in the filesystem properties dialog. Desktop search integration, which first appeared in Nautilus in GNOME 2.14 and can optionally leverage the Beagle and Tracker indexing systems, has now been added to the GNOME file dialog."

Being that I am a Windows user, I prefer the look of KDE over GNOME's MAC-like appearance, though I have been thinking about installing a version of GNOME. I am still a newbie in Linux and I want to experiment some more before I settle on what distribution and GUI combination I will use permanently....
