yes using that go-gnome script is the most irresponisble thing to do security wise. > Or is APT-GET the best method to install Ximian Gnome? there is an apt line. but i recommend you don't use ximian gnome, the packages are of low quality and its really rather broken. i just the other day wanted to compile galeon which i did, but it segfaulted all over the place, so on a plain potato system i compiled just the requisite gnome libraries from sid, and built galeon and it works rock solid stable. on the other box i have completely purged every trace of ximian/helix gnome and replaced it with debian gnome plus my self compiled sid upgrades (about a dozen or so packages) and things are working much MUCH better now. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
