giving gnome a try

[JonesMB <jonesmb@ziplink.net>]

I am tired of FVWM95 and its apparent limitations and lack of new 
development so I am ready for a new window manager.  Plus I wanna try 
something new and maybe break my system :-)

I am currently downloading gnome as I type this.  I considered KDE 
and settled on gnome.  I am getting it from ftp.cybertrails.com using 
apt.  This is my first attempt at downloading with apt rather than 
dselect and it wasn't that hard.  The install page says I should 
apt-get update then apt-get install task-gnome-apps task-gnome-net so 
that's all I am doing.

All you gnome users out there, if there are any "gotchas" you think I 
should know please let me know via private email.  I am in digest 
mode so it could take a while before I see responses to the list.  I 
am also going to download the gnome documentation from www.gnome.org.

thanks
