A couple of days before the release of version 2.6 of the GNOME desktop, the server hosting the main GNOME website and several other gnome.org sites appears to have been compromised, according to a posting to one of the GNOME mailing lists.
GNOME is one of the two main desktop environments used by Linux distributions; the other is KDE.
Owen Taylor, who works for Linux maker Red Hat, said evidence of an intrusion had been discovered on March 23.
"At the present time, we think that the released gnome sources and the gnome source code repository are unaffected," Taylor said.
