Java Desktop System Preview is coming

As I said in an earlier post Java Desktop System (JDS) Preview is a version of Gnome designed to look like the Java Desktop System for Solaris. Today the JDS Preview conversion is being tested at a big site up in Oregon. Assuming all goes as planned it looks like starting next Monday, November 1 all current Gnome users will be converting to JDS Preview.

We've done lots of work preparing people for the change. of course there is always more that the change acceptance team can do. This will be a busy week. I'd like to think no one will be surprised by the change but we shall see. Stay tuned
