Hello,
After installing NetBSD 2.0 on my laptop I'd like to install Gnome. It's the
first time I've installed a desktop on any of the NetBSD systems I have.
From what I can gather from the DESCR files I see there are two versions
available, one more stable than the other (?).
What I would like to know is the list of packages to install to get a
standard, base gnome installation up and running (applications will come
later). I'm asking this because I see there are several gnome packages
available and I am unable to determine which one is/are the one(s) to
install to get a viable base installation.
Another question I have is regarding stability, is the latest version really
that unstable that it wouldn't be recommended to install? A few minor bugs
here and there is fine by me but I don't wish to sacrifice the entire
systems stability for the latest and greatest in desktop features.
Thanks
