I found out this morning while doing my usual emerge sync that Gnome 2.6 is now marked as stable for the Gentoo distribution of Linux. I took a look at the output of a pretend update and there are now over 550 MB of source that will need to be fetched and compiled because I have been slacking on my updates until 2.6 was marked stable. Guess my little laptop will be busy this weekend downloading and compiling lots of source code. I just hope after all this time and waiting that everything will still work as it does now for me. I took a few minutes to check the forums for notable bugs with Gnome 2.6, but the only things I saw seemed to be caused by people running the unstable version and not upgrading other libraries/programs as needed. We'll see.
