GNOME 2 is in sid, and is pretty much GNOME 2.2.
Are you having problems with starting GNOME hanging at the splash screen?
If you've upgraded from GNOME 1, you will currently have to kill all your GNOME-related processes (like gconfd-2, bonobo-activation-server), and doing rm -rf /tmp/orbit-username.
Is your control center menu really small? If so, check out: this message. And also please be sure that you are using nautilus 2.0.
Debian is working on integrating GNOME 2. Follow the instructions below, depending on which distribution of Debian you're running.
James Strandboge has created packages of GNOME 2.2 for woody, along with other applications like Evolution. First, note that in order to use this, you will need to have XFree 4.2!. Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/debian woody/bunk-1 main contrib non-free deb-src http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/debian woody/bunk-1 main contrib non-free
Once you've installed XFree 4.2, add
deb http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody gnome2.2/ deb-src http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody gnome2.2/
to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and then do
apt-get update apt-get install gnome
Or instead:
apt-get update apt-get install gnome-core
There are currently no GNOME 2 packages for sarge. You have to upgrade to sid.
Currently in sid, you have two choices; you can install the gnome package and get a full desktop environment and application suite, or you can install gnome-core and just get the core GNOME desktop. This looks like:
apt-get install gnome
However, sid changes quite often, and the gnome package depends on a lot of other ones, so there may be periods where it doesn't work. If not, try:
apt-get install gnome-core
Actually though, nowadays I highly recommend using aptitude instead, so try:
aptitude install gnome
No. The GNOME 1 desktop packages (the panel, terminal, etc) will be replaced. All the GNOME 1 libraries will stay on your system, which means you can keep running Evolution, Galeon, etc.
Then Debian's GNOME distribution isn't for you. We try to keep things relatively stable. Check out GARNOME, it's bad-ass.
