GNOME Utilities 2.0.0 			"Zivot je jinde"

Bedroom, Dublin, Ireland -- June 17, 2002 -- the GNOME project today 
proudly announced the release of gnome-utils 2.0.0, targeted for the 
"GNOME 2.0 Platform and Desktop" release. Much has changed since
the initial start of the project in late 1998 and this release marks
the start of a more intuitive and appealing user interface, coupled
with the port to the new GNOME 2.0 platform.


It is available at the following location -

    ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/pre-gnome2/sources/gnome-utils
