Hi, its been a while since we have announced anything in here on the main web page. I think its time now that we can say something which will be interesting to all of you who are still waiting for the unreleased gnome desktop you prefer. So lets start to update you with some interesting stuff.
1) As you maybe know this time we are in sync with 2 archs the usual one on i686 with Slackware 12.2 and on x86-64 with Slamd64 12.2. Since at the time of preparing the gnome 2.26 we didn’t knew that there will be a Slackware 64bit variant. Next release of dropline GNOME will be most probably based on the 64bit Slackware version also. As for Bluewhite we had reports that this release should also work.
2) Our development has been moved on the trac platform supplied by sourceforge.net, so all bug reports and problems, wishlists and other stuff related to dropline should be in a unique database there. They are now called with a new name, which is tickets. You can see them here or add a new ticket here but you mush have a sourceforge.net account and be logged in.
3) Forums are still up and soon will be upgraded to the better spam protection version. We will add reCAPTCHA as soon as possible. All people is encouraged to use the forums to make the community alive as mush as possible.
4) So for all of you who are using our desktop we want to say thanks and we encourage you to do
fresh installs if possible. To get the installers please follow for now those links:
