<title>GNOME 2.16 available for FreeBSD!</title>
<p>Quite possibly the most functional GNOME release ever is
now available for FreeBSD. GNOME 2.16 features HAL support
for FreeBSD which allows FreeBSD users to take advantage of
automatic volume mounting, advanced power management, and
more. In addition, many performance improvments have gone
into GNOME, and the eye candy has definitely been improved.
Check out the full set of
<a href="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/">release notes</a>
for all of the new goodies.</p>
<p>Due to the fact that GNOME 2.16 will be the first GNOME
release for FreeBSD to live in LOCALBASE, and because we are
so close to the release of FreeBSD 6.2, GNOME 2.16 will not
be committed to the ports tree until sometime in November
most likely. In the meantime,
