["Desktop environment"]
What is GNOME?
The [http://www.gnome.org GNOME] Desktop is an attractive and useful desktop environment. GNOME is both free and one of the most widely used desktop environments on the GNU/Linux operating system. Debian 4.0 Etch includes GNOME 2.14.3.
Installing GNOME
If you do not have ["X"] installed, you can get a bare minimum base install of X, using ["Aptitude"] or ["apt-get"]:
aptitude install x-window-system-core
The current method for installing a good set of GNOME tools in ["Debian"] [http://www.debian.org/releases/unstable sid] and [http://www.debian.org/releases/testing etch] is using gnome.
Standard
So, from the command line, run
aptitude install gnome
This will install additional software (rhythmbox, abiword, inkscape...) that you may or may not want.
Other metapackages
A smaller set of ["app"]s, comprising the official GNOME desktop release: gnome-desktop-environment.
For a bare minimum installation of GNOME: gnome-core.
A set of additional productivity applications: gnome-fifth-toe.
The development packages to compile GNOME dependent packages from source: gnome-core-devel.
A full development suite for developing GNOME-based applications: gnome-devel.
Configuration
Most configuration of the GNOME desktop is done via its various ["GUI"] utilities. The location of these varies depending on version, but common utilities include networking, themes, sounds and much more. It is also possible to configure (read/write) settings using the command line with ["gconftool"](["2"]).
