Gnome 2.18 Launched

My favourite desktop manager for Linux, Gnome has jumped to 2.18. Improvements to Tomboy, Seahorse and Gnome Power Manager. I have used these apps for a long time, and certainly recommend them for any user switching to Linux. Managing OpenPGP and SSH Keys using Seahorse couldn’t be easier, and Gnome Power Manager seriously needed some bump. I haven’t tried the new document manager myself, but the new document manager supports multiple instances of the same document at the same time. This is something useful if you are editing a document and referring to its original state.

And last but not the least, just as Remote Desktop Sharing in Microsoft, Gnome now supports desktop sharing over the Internet. Much useful for me for browsing my server sitting at alternate location without using VNC.

The detailed release notes are available on the official link. This release surely sets high standards for the upcoming KDE version. Personally I have not liked KDE much for various reasons including its unstability.
