The meta package is called 'gnome', not 'GNOME Desktop'. The answer, as a question: When you install Red Hat, and you choose the "GNOME" option, do you just get what upstream defines as the 'GNOME Desktop' release, or do you get a complete user environment which includes applications for common tasks? > What happened to the Debian Desktop project that I heard about a while ago? It's not wildly active as an independent (or amalgamated) project, but all of this stuff is Debian Desktop related. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ "Applications are just kernel testcases." - Andrew Morton
