It's nice to see that the distros topping distrowatch.com's list ship GNOME by default.

[Engnome]

FreeBSD, gonna try that some day. Seems like all *BSD are KDE though so I wonder how it is supported.

Kind shuts up those KDE fanboys (not every KDE user!) who sometimes can't help reiterating that KDE is the most popular Linux desktop environment :p I have my doubts these days.

[RAV TUX]

It appears the list made be old, judging from the version # affliated with Ubuntu.

I would think the list would be much more extensive then this.

If anybody knows of other distros with Gnome, please add them here.

StartCom Linux



I am really impressed with StartCom Linux I will download this tonight when I get home.

[siimo]

List out of date, kindof

Zenwalk ships 2.14
also they have missed out rPath's derivative Foresight that ALWAYS has latest gnome and is a "playground" distro of all the latest technologies :D

yes, as previously stated the list is out of date, I was hoping we could update it here in the forum.

[dicecca112]

um guys, the number with Ubuntu is the version of the Gnome, the most recent being 2.14

[jimrz]

SLED 10 (default)

Other Distributions that ship GNOME
Arch Linux 2.14
arch does not ship with GNOME or any desktop environment/window manager.

arch does not ship with GNOME or any desktop environment/window manager.

I wonder why they made the list? It does say "ship with", not "set as default", I suspect it is much like Gentoo where it is not set as a default but you can enable it.

[-deadcats]

GNOME desktop has gotten a lot of push from for-profit enterprise companies like Red Hat and Novell. Supposedly easier for SysAdmins, I dunno...

Coming from a KDesktop Environment, I miss some of the somewhat easier functionality of it.

GNOME is different, but GNOME is changing. I'm presently downloading SLED 10 final on DVD, and I LIKE some of the changes SUSE has made to the GNOME look and feel. I don't like to feel that GNOME has been practically shoved down my throat by Novell with SUSE 10.1 (KDE used to be the top-choice on the installation screen, now GNOME is), because KDE has historically had the best support in SuSE. Now, with Novell's ownership, the powers-that-be are insisting on change. (Hence a lot of the shake ups lately between Novell and former SuSE heads?)

My $.02.

it comes with nothing of the sort. if you want gnome, you install it from the repositories with 'pacman -S gnome' otherwise you are running strictly from the command line

perhaps you should contact Davyd Madeley and have the list corrected.

(as of 7/17/6 it does appear to come with GNOME Office, the second list doesn't say that they come with a GNOME desktop only that they are
"Other Distributions that ship GNOME")
