Linux 2.2.0pre2 / Gnome 0.99.1

Carl wrote in to to quote Linus regarding the 2.2.0pre2 release:"If you haven't had problems with pre1, there should be no major cause to look at pre2. But if you haven't even looked at pre1 yet, please consider looking at the pre-2.2.0 kernels before it's too late. I'm going to be extremely rude to people who knew better but didn't test out the pre-kernels and then send me bug-reports on the released 2.2.0." An anonymous reader also wrote in to say that gnome.org has updated and announced the 0.99.1 release of several of the relevant packages. Lot's of stuff to download and compile if *cough* you don't have plans for New Years.
