Gnome PBI available for PC-BSD 1.5 Edison

Posted on July 3, 2008 by Gerard

Gnome Desktop environment logoPC-BSD is a straight-forward and easy-to-install KDE based operating system. However, on the PC-BSD forums a number of users have been saying they prefer the Gnome desktop environment over KDE and would welcome a Gnome based version of PC-BSD.

It is possible to install Gnome on PC-BSD from ports, but doing this can cause problems and take a lot of time.

For the time being there won’t be a Gnome based PC-BSD version, but Gnove lovers will be delighted to learn that Marcus from the FreeBSD Gnome Team has now created a Gnome PBI.
