Gnome 2 has text antialiasing using the Freetype library, so it is
pretty high quality as well :-)
There are some improvements with Cut and paste, like you can cut HTML
from Mozilla and paste to Evolution mail composer, or you can cut a
spreadsheet from Openoffice and paste it as a HTML table to your mail
message.[*] O think those things are being improved continuously. Drag
and drop for opening files works very well on Gnome2

Mol should just care about the kernel more or less, so that it finds
your MOL kernelmodules. If it also finds a working framebuffer and a
MacOS to boot from it should be happy.. I use MOL in testing and
unstable and it seems to work fine. Thouhg I dont update every day so
some breakeage might have slipped through unnoticed :-)
Best,
