If you're looking for a GNOME desktop for the popular PCLinuxOS (PCLOS), then newly released PCLinuxOS Gnome might be for you.
PCLinuxOS
PCLinuxOS was founded in 2003 by developer Bill "Texstar" Reynolds. Originally based on Mandriva, it comes as a live CD with a hard drive installation utility. It uses the KDE desktop environment and Advanced Package Tool (APT), usually found in Debian-based distributions, to install RPM packages. The distro includes non-free codecs and utilities, and is a great option for Windows users seeking their first taste of Linux.
