8 I'm happy to announce:
9 Gnome2 beta5 + is now avaiable in portage!
10 its mostly masked for testing, and you will have to edit your
11 /usr/portage/package.mask to get it install-able
12
13 Just search for "gnome2" and you will find it fairly simply.
14 there's a lot of packages there for you, just add a # in front of them,
15 then proceed.
16
17 emerge gnome will then emerge Gnome2 desktop beta5, but it will not
18 emerge every application that is ported to gnome2.
19 (some programs avaiable are: ggv, mrproject, gimp, gnumeric )
20
21 Yes, its possible to get AA text in Gnome2
22 export GDK_USE_XFT=1
23 then startx and you will have it.
24
25 to launch Gnome 2 just set you XSESSION to "gnome" and there you are.
26
27 This will replace your normal Gnome Desktop, but will leave all Gnome
28 applications in working order.
29
30 If you want your old panel run : "panel"
31 for the old Gnome Control Center run : "gnomecc"
32
33 In following of the Sun and Gnome predictate, the default installed
34 WindowManager is "Metacity". Sawfish is also avaiable as a snapshot, or
35 with your old version.
36
37 please, report all crashes with bugzilla to the Gnome release team.
38
39 report all package inconsistencies to me, Spider@g.o

41 happy testing,
