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 of 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. 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
Newsflash page for details.
