What is GNOME?

GNOME stands for an international effort to create a complete desktop environment. It’s basically the graphical user interface (GUI) that sits on top of your computer's operating system, all made from free software. The goal here is pretty ambitious: they want to build software development frameworks, choose application software for desktops, and create programs that help with launching applications, handling files, as well as managing windows and tasks.

The GNU Project Connection

This awesome project is part of the GNU Project. You can use GNOME with various Unix-like operating systems, especially Linux. It's even part of the Java Desktop System in Solaris.

A Little History

The name GNOME originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, but that acronym isn’t used anymore. What’s really great about the GNOME project is its focus on simplicity and usability. They want everything to be easy and work seamlessly!
