What is GNOME?

GNOME Logo

The GNOME project was born 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 environment. The FreeBSD GNOME Project brings 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 and countless volunteers, GNOME is fully supported on FreeBSD.

The GNOME project has expanded its objectives over the past few months to address a number of problems in the existing infrastructure.

The GNOME project acts as an umbrella. The major components of GNOME are:

  • The GNOME desktop: An easy to use window-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.

State of the port

GNOME for FreeBSD is currently supported on 4.8, 4.9, 5.2, -STABLE, and -CURRENT. Most of GNOME has been ported to FreeBSD; however, there is plenty left to do!
