What is GNOME?
The 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.
Gnome in Debian
Debian 6.0 ("Squeeze") includes GNOME 2.30.
There are four options to install Gnome in Debian:
How to install |

Installing "Gnome Desktop" task
The GNOME Desktop task is what is installed by Debian-Installer's Desktop "task" (unless you picked another DesktopEnvironment !).
To install it, first make sure that tasksel and aptitude:
apt-get install aptitude tasksel
Then, install the gnome task:tasksel install gnome-desktop --new-install
(The option --new-install ensure we end-up with what DebianInstaller would have installed ).
Content
FYI,
The "Gnome Desktop" task is actually the sum of tasksel's common desktop (desktop) and tasksel's selected desktop (gnome-desktop) :
#tasksel -t install gnome desktop aptitude -q --without-recommends -o APT::Install-Recommends=no -y install ~t^desktop$ ~t^gnome-desktop$
As of DebianSqueeze, this corresponds to:
(tasksel --task-packages desktop ; tasksel --task-packages gnome-desktop) | sort -u

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).
