Christian Egle writes: As a special service, SuSE now offers new RPM packages of the latest release (1.0.x) of the desktop enviroment GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment). The GNOME project intends to build a complete, user-friendly desktop based entirely on free software. The desktop will consist of small utilities and larger applications which share a consistent look and feel. GNOME uses GTK+ as the GUI toolkit for all GNOME-compliant applications. Further information about GNOME can be found on the GNOME homepage at http://www.gnome.org The new packages can be found at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/GNOME This directory contains the following packages: - GNOME base system (Libraries and Utilites) - GNOME applications like: · GMC, a file manager · Gnumeric, a spreadsheet application · GnoRPM, a package manager · ee, an image viewer and browser · gedit and gnotepad+, text editors · GDM, the GNOME display manager · etc... - additional Libraries that are necessary to run GNOME (Sound, graphics, XML, etc.) Please try to use an ftp-mirror server to download these packages.
