+				GNOME &gnomeversion; is the latest version of the GNOME Desktop: a
+				popular, multi-platform desktop environment for your computer.
+				GNOME's focus is ease of use, stability, and first-class
+				internationalization and accessibility support. 
+				GNOME is Free and Open Source Software and provides all of the common
+				tools computer users expect of a modern computing environment, such as
+				email, groupware, web browsing, file management, multimedia, and games.
+				Furthermore, GNOME provides a flexible and powerful platform for software
+				developers, both on the desktop and in mobile applications.

+				The GNOME Desktop is released every six months and contains many new features,

+				accessibility, internationalization, and freedom) visit the
