The GNOME 1.4 Release Team is proud to announce GNOME 1.4 Beta 1
      "Oops, We Did it Again". This is just the first beta and there
      are various known problems with compiling and running. However,
      if you are adventurous and would like to help with testing, get
      it from your favorite GNOME mirror site
      in /pub/GNOME/betas/gnome-1.4beta1.


      We would also like to announce the GNOME Fifth Toe 1.4 Beta 1
      release, a collection of additional packages that are not part
      of the core desktop but work with GNOME.


      Bug reports for most packages should go in GNOME Bugzilla. For a few
      packages, the right place is Eazel bugzilla or 
      Ximian bugzilla.

 For the convenience of those who find building from source too
      daunting, Ximian will soon be making binary packages available
      available for a variaty of platforms.
