Installing Gnome

UNDER SID:

The current metapackage for installing a good set of Gnome tools in [http://www.debian.org/releases/unstable sid] is gnome-desktop-environment. So, from the command line, run

-# apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment

You can also do

-# apt-get install gnome

but this will install additional software (gnome-office, evolution) that you may not want.

UNDER SARGE:

As of the mirror pulse on the evening of 24 January 2004, the Gnome metapackages are fully up-to-date in [http://www.debian.org/releases/testing sarge], so you should be able to follow the directions above for sid.

galeon is not yet available; it needs a new version of libbonobo, which is a week away from getting into testing.
