The RPMs are only one of the ways of tackling the complexity of
getting started with GNOME.  They do make it quite easy, so we mention 
them.

But the real method is to go to the source, via the anonymous CVS
repository.  That should work for all linux distributions.

Which reminds me to ask: how many architectures does the essential
GNOME run on?
