Very slick and easiest GNOME installation I've ever experienced. <p> Of course I had to immediatedly try some coding too... see <a href="http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jlof/applet/" >this applet</a>. Coding that little applet was pure joy. I've done some plain gtk+ coding before, but this was actually my first attempt at GNOME spesific code. <p> Helix GNOME has very polished look with good programming APIs and infrastructure (CORBA, bonobo etc.). No wonder that Sun and other companies chose GNOME to replace CDE.
