Graças a Ken VanDine, você pode testar o novíssimo GNOME de uma forma bem fácil e indolor: através de uma máquina virtual!

Existem imagens para VMWare e QEMU/KVM/Parallels. Basta baixar a imagem e rodá-la num ambiente virtualizado.

Para baixar a imagem: http://torrent.gnome.org/
Caso encontre alguma falha (bug) no GNOME, e quer vê-la corrigida na versão 2.24.1, relate-nos esta falha.

Thanks to Ken VanDine, you can try the fresh new GNOME in an easy and painless way: through a virtual machine!

There are images for VMWare and QEMU/KVM/Parallels. All you have to do is to download the image and run it in a virtualized environment.

To download the image: http://torrent.gnome.org/
If you find out some bug and want to see it fixed in 2.24.1, let us know.

Depois disso, caso não você não goste ou não queira instalar o GNOME compilando-o, é só esperá-lo em uma distribuição perto de você. O Ubuntu Intrepid, por exemplo, será lançado no final de outubro, já com o GNOME 2.24.

Affter that, if you don’t like or don’t want to install GNOME by compiling it, just wait for a distribution near to you. Ubuntu Intrepid, for example, will be released in the end of October, featuring GNOME 2.24.

If you set up a VM, why not with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex?

Could help finding bugs and so. No danger in a VBox.

Why no virtualbox???

Use the raw image for VirtualBox, Tom:

$ gunzip gnome-live-2.24.0.hdd.gz
$ VBoxManage convertdd gnome-live-2.24.0.hdd gnome-live-2.24.0.vdi

Create a new virtual machine using the .vdi as harddisk… et voilà.

The VMware VDI file should work in VirtualBox without any conversion (haven’t tried though).

Or you can install Mandriva Linux 2009 RC2, which already features GNOME 2.24 final. :)

Ok, I tried it. But I couldn’t find anything exciting TBH.

OK, I tried Mandriva and it does not seem to have all the new features ( Actually I couldn’t tell any difference at all. )

I will try the image and Empathy soon.

Keep up the good work.
