Gnome "We want to develop a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools, similar to CDE and KDE but based entirely on free software." Those were the opening lines of Miguel De Icaza's email announcing the GNU Network Object Model Environment, better known as GNOME, exactly (in my timezone) ten years ago, on 15th August 1997. They have come a long way from this, to this.

The first screen shot link seems to be essentially dead, but I managed to grab it after a number of refreshes and waiting, here's a mirror:

I'd forgotten how bad gnome looked back in the day. Now days it looks much much better. Thanks for the working link.

GNOME team keep up the good work.

I was not able to access your file with your link as it is, but using : http://rs171l33.rapidshare.com/files/49024673/gnome.png works fine.
