Announcing GNOME 2.4.0 for FreeBSD 108
Dan writes "FreeBSD's Joe Marcus Clarke says that GNOME 2.4.0 is now available for FreeBSD. Unfortunately, due to timing issues with FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE, it will not make it into the official ports tree until after 4.9 is released (looks like early October right now). In the meantime, you can get to it from his CVS tree. For those without CVS access, he has periodic tarballs made, and are downloadable from the same URL. You should also download the marcusmerge script to aid in merging his ports tree with the official tree. If you already have a copy of the script, download it again because things have changed." Update: 09/18 15:25 GMT by M : FreeBSD's Joe Marcus Clarke says due to popular demand, but more importantly to the fact that 4.9-RELEASE has been pushed back at least two weeks, GNOME 2.40 has been merged into the ports tree.

Why do you leave your laptop in your closet?
Oh, wait, you don't use FreeBSD as a server. I was wondering why the hell Gnome is there.

Dying? Definition 6. from http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dying reads:
6. To become indifferent: had died to all worldly concerns.
Apply this definition to your constant bickering over whether or not I'm dead and I'll agree.
Over the last twenty something years I've been through a lot. But through it all I've been reliable and dependable.
Over the next few years I'm going to show you what the terms "scalability," "efficiency," and "security" really mean.
So shut your pie holes and keep coding. Maybe you'll have a hope in hell of keeping up with me.
Yours truly,
FreeBSD
