The Debian GNOME team has recompiled the GNOME packages, as present in the Debian developement tree, for the stable Debian release 2.1 (slink).
This update contains the current GNOME core packages, as well as current versions of GNOME aware applications and window managers. A valueable new package for GNOME users, is the newly packaged GNOME User's Guide. As only security related updates are added to Debian's stable tree, this update is a seperate entity. To ease the installation for users new to GNOME, this update contains several task packages, that install preselected sets of programms. Upgrading an existing GNOME 0.3 installation using apt is also as easy as running apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. More information and help on installing and using this GNOME update can be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/getting_debian.shtml
