i'm sure that you get alot of emails a day so i'll try to make this short. i 
know that most people that use gnome know how to do most of this. i'm trying 
to download gnome to use it as the main and only operating system for my 
laptop. i keep trying to find a site that'll allow me to download it. every link 
that i click on just goes to a page that won't load or something. if you could 
give me a direct link so that i could download it that would be great. the only 
way for me to install it would to download it onto this computer and burn it 
to a CD in a bootable format because i have no current OS on my laptop anymore, 
i've formatted the harddrive. could you help? i'd appreciate it, and thank 
you for your time.
