Posted by timothy on from the doubletake dept.

Joe Marcus Clarke writes: "The FreeBSD GNOME project is proud to announce the opening of our project site. This site is devoted to the GNOME desktop and its development on FreeBSD." While the port is an ongoing project, quite a few applications are ready, as are instructions on putting GNOME on your FreeBSD box.

  1. Oh, the pain of installing or upgrading. by Jayson · · Score: 4, Informative
    There are two great way to install on FreeBSD:
    pkg_add -r gnome
    or for those of you who like source:
    cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome; make install
    To upgrade application gnome-app:
    portupgrade -r gnome-app
    You might also want to install the package/port called gnome-fifth-toe, since that will include things like Gnumeric, GNUCash, Gimp, etc....
