GNOME vs Canonical

[Darcy Casselman]

Also, if you have no idea what we're talking about, don't worry about
it.  It probably won't affect you that much.  It's just politics.

If you want to keep up with these little controversies, however, I'd
recommend reading "The Planet" occasionally--it's an aggregation of
blogs by Ubuntu members: http://planet.ubuntu.com/
