Gnomebuntu to come this fall

http://gnomebuntu.org/

Quote:
While initially it sounded like GNOMEbuntu would be the name of this new Linux flavor, developer Jeremy Bicha has apparently said that the GNOME Foundation Board won't permit it, according to Muktware. Along with Compiz, the new GNOME Ubuntu will reportedly use the Rhythmbox music player as well as the Epiphany browser, Evolution for e-mail and workgroup functions, the Abiword word processor, and the Gnumeric spreadsheet package. Neither Firefox nor LibreOffice will be preinstalled, according to the report.
This Linux is coming this fall, most likely in October. Anyone excited?

Linux Mint 14 “Nadia”. I was agreeing with your "Mint" comment. Currently Mint 13's name is "Maya"

There are enough "flavors" of linux out there for me not to get excited about a new release.

If I use Linux, it is for LAMP or programming of some sort. What comes with a linux distro doesnt matter to me, ill get what I need with little time and a few simple commands.

Epiphany? I would expect that choice for a leightweight distro with LXDE/XFCE/ROX desktop or the Openbox/Fluxbox/Blackbox WMs, not with a GNOME 3.x based distro. Epiphany is pretty much like IE 6 or so but then with Gecko instead of the IE engine. It would not matter much for me (replacing it with something else) but it may be repelling new users.

Rhythmbox is a good choice though.

You would think they would continue on with firefox. But it seems they are moving away from the norms with this spin of the buntu. I use Chrome anyway so it really doesn't matter to me either.

I'm pretty excited. Those who aren't likely fail to understand the awesomeness that is GNOME. Prepare the spike traps and the burning oil, Gnome fortress is upon us!
