Well, only to clarify things. You can install Ximian/Gnome, running the following command, as root:
# lynx -source http://go-gnome.com/ | sh
This works for the following plataforms:
+ Red Hat Linux 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 7.0, and 7.1
+ SuSE 6.3, 6.4 and 7.0 on x86
+ Mandrake 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2
+ Debian GNU/Linux (Potato) on x86
+ LinuxPPC 2000
+ TurboLinux 6.0
+ Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server 1.2
This is the way people at byte.com makes thousands of hits thanks to the 'slashdot effect', and the 'Linux vs FreeBSD' effect. It's clearly a flame war article.
C'mon people, FreeBSD is BSD, and Linux is... Linux.
I think very few people knows this about a software that all of us have in that old 3,5" disks.

M I L W A U K E E, April 22 - A man who developed one of the world's most popular pieces of computer software has died at age 37. Phillip W. Katz died of complications from chronic alcoholism, according to the Milwaulkee medical examiner's records. Katz's file-compression software is used around the world. "In early days, compression was all done with software because there was no hardware to do this stuff," said computer science professor Leonard Levine at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. "So Katz put together a program called PKZip, the Phil Katz zip program." The compression software made communication between computers faster and less expensive. "His program was instrumental in inexpensive, dependable communication," Levine said. But, he added, "what I felt was most important about it is the fact that you can get it for free and not pay for it." Nearly all program files downloaded from the Internet have the suffix.zip, meaning they are compressed in the format Katz developed.
