I currently have Gnome 1.x and I'm wondering what's the best way to upgrade to Gnome 2?? Should I use Synaptic?
Thanks!

Tom, You might want to take a look at the GNOME2 release notes. They give an explanation of how to build it, and the order in which you need to build and install each package. You can leave your current version of GNOME on your system, since they can be installed in parallel. Follow this link for all the info: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.0/releasenotes.html You can also try the GNOME2 rpm's for SuSE 8.0 if you are still using that. I tried them, though, and ran into numerous difficulties, so I wound up compiling all of the packages, but your mileage may vary. You can find the GNOM2 update for SuSE 8.0 on the SuSE ftp server. hth, Kevin
