[gnome-slackware]Status for Noldata Gnome2

Dear All.

As noted in the webpage, Noldata stopped the work on gnome2 as there is
a lot of bugs to be corrected yet.

You can see ftp.slackware.pl for the latest gnome2 builds, we checked it
out.

Currently we are working on some solutions and making a PAM system for
Slackware (a complete one), I think they will be finished later this
month if the gnome project is cleaned enough.

1.4.1 is very very stable and the number of apps is very large, gnome2
lacks the apps for now and as I wrote before, still have some bugs.

We have the "alpha" compiled packages if someone wants to probe and help
debug us, please let us now.
