what was he reviewing?

Fedora Core 2 or GNOME 2.6?

I've been using FC2 in a production desktop environment, with no system problems. The one issue I had was figuring out how to specify a destination CD-RW drive on the IDE bus.

As far as Nicholas Petreley's screed goes regarding GNOME 2.6, so what? The GNOME developers felt no need to consult with Mr. Petreley before changing the Nautilus UI, and after his comments, I can see why.

Regarding the reviewer's complaint about the Open dialog box: If you want to type in filenames, open an Xterm. And if you're editing configuration files, does that mean you're running X as root? Did you log in as root, or did you open an Xterm and use "su -"? Either way, the gripe doesn't hold water.
