Thu, 30 Jan 2003 12:24 -0500 ¶ I just upgraded my workstation to GNOME 2.2 RC2. There are still a couple of bugs but overall its very stable. The most noticeable improvement is its speed.

I also upgraded X to XFree86 version 4.2.99.3. This is a beta version of the upcoming version 4.3. It also has been fantastic especially since it probed my NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 without a problem. Now I do not have to use that hideous VESA driver or taint my system with NVIDIA's driver.

There were also some not so fun times; it had a tendency to crash causing me to lose an entire school paper I was working on the night before it was due.
