Subject: [SuSE Announce] GNOME on SuSE's ftp-Server 




Dear Linux users!

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.
A list of available mirrors can be found here:

	http://www.suse.de/e/ftp.html

Please note, that these packages are only intended for updating a SuSE
Linux 6.x and that SuSE does not grant installation support for them!

Thanks for your feedback to <feedback@suse.de>





Have a lot of fun!

Your SuSE-Team
