Installing Gnome

UNDER SID and SARGE:

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

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

You can also do

apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment

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
