[gorkhal]

ran using the live cd off gnome's website....it is freakin amazing...

ooohhh the font rendering is soo much better, and a lot of the other stuff's good as well.

[gord]

im waiting for a apt-get version or a nice how-to before trying 2.12. some of the stuff sounds great but the compiling was getting a little over my head.. also its very very early in the morning

is it avilable on brezy as apt, i.e. should I do a dist-upgrade from hoary?

Top marks for asking; I'm a long-time linux freaker having moved to ubuntu in the last 3 months finding it a much nicer experience for my family than debian testing/unstable (sarge) that I had been using.

so, having warned, feel free to speak on

Put in this command to terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

when that opens, copy and paste it here.

OMG there's a menu editor, welcome to the revolution of Gnome :razz:

Since some people here don't read Planet Ubuntu:

"jrb says (http://webwynk.net/jrb/#1126152882) :

Of all the features in evince, the one that I'm most proud of is that we don't have a preference dialog. It's taken a lot of discipline and creativity along the way, but we managed."

Ah, the spirit of Gnome :)

Oh btw, here's th OSnews review: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=11800

Put in this command to terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

No offense....but that was the most messed up sources.list I've ever seen. So many debian repos....I'm surprised your computer did not explode! I'm so glad I asked you to show me it so I could fix it!

Here is the one you need for Breezy:

When we have a Breezy backport repo, add it to. I must warn you that putting so many Debian sources in your sources.list is the easiest way to really mess up Ubuntu, especially this one:

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat unstable main

Please never put that back in!

Now do this:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
