The Ubuntu team has released Dapper Drake Flight CD4, the 4th alpha release on the way to the final release of Dapper Drake (which is now in upstream version freeze). Besides many cosmetic changes to the boot sequence, GDM, and GNOME in general, this release features Espresso (a live-CD installer), GNOME 2.14 Beta 2, and much more. The team has also included a 'very special and early gift' - Novell's Xgl and Compiz. Downloads for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu are in the release announcement.

What an absolute solid lineup of apps! As a Windows/OSX user, I'm impressed by the solid design and continuity of GNOME apps. GEdit looks amazing! Compared to the button-spam I've seen in other distros (e.g. SUSE9) GNOME is looking every part its goal to provide a human usable version of Linux.
People need to stop fighting, if GNOME is not your preferred desktop then don't belittle it, it's doing absolute wonders for Linux adoption; and in the end that matters even to terminal-campers. Wider addoptance could lead to better support from driver manufacturers.
