Welcome to the Home of the Gnome . . . the FreeBSD GNOME!
+
+The GNOME project was born as an effort to create an entirely free
+desktop environment for free systems. From the start, the main
+objective of GNOME has been to provide a user friendly suite of
+applications and an easy-to-use desktop. The FreeBSD GNOME Project
+strives to bring GNOME to the FreeBSD user.
+
+As with most GNU programs, GNOME has been designed to run on all modern
+Unix-like operating systems. Through the efforts for the FreeBSD
+GNOME Project, those operating systems include FreeBSD.
+
+The GNOME project has expanded its objectives over the past few months
+to include addressing a number of problems in the existing Unix
+infrastructure.
+
+The GNOME project acts as an umbrella, the major
+components of GNOME are:
+
+ - The GNOME desktop: An easy to use windows-based
+ environment for users.
+
- The GNOME development
+ platform: A rich collection of tools, libraries,
+ and components to develop powerful applications on Unix.
+
- The GNOME
+ Office: A set of office productivity applications.
+
We currently support 4.x and 5-CURRENT FreeBSD Systems
for GNOME 1.4.0.3. Anything prior to FreeBSD 4.1 is not
-supported.
-
+supported. Most of GNOME has been ported to FreeBSD;
+however, there's plenty left to do!
Newsflash! We're UP! We're running! We're churning out
patches and ports as fast as we can make the keyboards work! See
