Installing Gnome
UNDER SID:
The current metapackage for installing a good set of Gnome tools is gnome-desktop-environment. So, from the command line, run
# aptitude install gnome-desktop-environment
You can also do
# aptitude install gnome
but this will install additional software (gnome-office, evolution) that you may not want.
UNDER SARGE:
Gnome is currently broken. The gnome-core package is still the old 1.4 version, but the other components are the newer 2.4. Install at your own risk!
UNDER WOODY:
No metapackage exists. Again, run
# aptitude install gnome-core gnome-panel gnome-control-center gnome-session gnome-sawfish
