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.
- Colin Watson, 24 Jan 2004
In order to get the metapackages installable on all architectures, we need:
- arm version of epiphany-browser
- mips version of epiphany-browser, rhythmbox and planner
- mipsel version of epiphany-browser
- m68k version of planner
- sparc version of planner

UNDER WOODY:
In [http://www.debian.org/releases/stable woody] no ["metapackage"] exists. Instead, run
-# apt-get install gnome-core gnome-panel gnome-control-center sawfish-gnome
