GNOME
From TALinuxWiki
GNOME is a Unix and Linux desktop suite and development platform.

GNOME on TA-Linux
TA-Linux is not a desktop linux distribution, but the primary desktop if you can say so, is GNOME. You need to install GNOME from the Collection to use it, as it's not included in the core packages.

Installing GNOME
GNOME is available as a meta package split in a couple smaller parts with a plain desktop and with some extra software. You use pkgc to install core GNOME packages like this:
pkgc install gnome-2-core
This contains the basic GNOME desktop. To install multimedia tools run:
pkgc install gnome-2-media
This will install nautilus-cd-burner, gnome-media, rhythmbox and totem.

Starting GNOME
To start GNOME edit your ~/.xinitrc file like this:
exec gnome-session
