Installation of GNOME 2.10

For GNOME 2.10 we have a LiveCD, available from www.gnome.org. The LiveCD allows you to try a full GNOME desktop on Linux without installing anything on your hard drive. This is the best way to see for yourself what's new.

For actual use, we recommend that you install official packages, such as those for your Linux distribution. Vendors are likely to package GNOME 2.10 relatively quickly, and to release new versions soon that include GNOME 2.10.

However, if you would like to build GNOME from source code, to test the very latest versions, to provide feedback and improvements, we recommend a build tool; such as the GARNOME utility, for building from released tarballs, and jhbuild, for building from CVS.
