Linux already buried MS in the server departments (remember NT for PPC, Alpha 
& MIPS?).

The Desktop is next. That's why all the feverish activity is here.

Important sanity checksum: Don't go for the raw source at gnome.org. Get the 
src.rpm files from the SRPMS folder of your distro's CDs set (or the Website 
thereof). This will ensure that you can build the source & learn to featurize 
it without spending forever tweaking your compiler version, library files, 
build scripts, etc.

After you have worked out on these (and maybe sent in a bio-patch to the 
hardcores), only then do you go for the CVS Head.
