Having chosen Suse 9.1 Personal as my choice of Linux distribution, I was satisfied with KDE, but curious (and rebellious) to try to install Gnome 2.8, no matter what. After success, I wrote an article on how it was done.
"I was down but not out. I had read in several forums that there is a Gnome 2.8 ULB release specifically made for Suse 9.1. ULB? WTF? Thank god for Google. ULB stands for usr-local-bin.org, a website maintained by James Ogley.
The usr-local-bin APT component contains the latest GNOME packages that I've built for SuSE Linux.
...APT? Great, more stuff I've never heard about. Turns out that APT is a tool similar to the RPM package management component that Yast provides in Suse 9.1. But better yet, it allows you to add a ton of RPM sources (ftp servers) with packages made by other people. This must cause problems, right? Not to this date....."
