&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;There are several efforts to create Live CDs of GNUstep&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==GNUSTEP live CD==&lt;br /&gt;
of Alex Myczko, [http://www.aiei.ch/gnustep/ Version 2.5] released on July 25, 2017&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Supported architectures===&lt;br /&gt;
* i686&lt;br /&gt;
* AMD64&lt;br /&gt;
* PowerPC&lt;br /&gt;
* UltraSPARC&lt;br /&gt;
* ARM (Raspberry Pi)&lt;br /&gt;
(all with multiple CPUs)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Minimal Requirements===&lt;br /&gt;
* 128 MB Memory&lt;br /&gt;
* CD-ROM drive or USB slot where you can boot from&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Notes===&lt;br /&gt;
I think a lot of the bugs listed below are caused by GNUstep and WindowMaker, and not the Live CD itself.  The reason I say this is because I experience some of these issues with my GNUstep installation, and most times I build it from scratch from SVN or stable releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bugs====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some windows (for instance in DBModeler.app) can't be accessed since the title bar is off-screen (a seasoned GNUstepper knows how to fix this but what about the newbies?) (This happens with most GNUstep apps, and should be fixed in GNUstep/Gorm)&lt;br /&gt;
: gdl2 doesn't build anymore with the latest gnustep tarball release!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bugs reported by Fred Kiefer:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There were no colour schemas predefined. &lt;br /&gt;
: Can you provide the schemas and tell where they get on the filesystem?&lt;br /&gt;
:: There's some under the Modules/ColorSchemes directory of SystemPreferences in svn.  I'm not 100% sure, but I think they go under $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Colors.&lt;br /&gt;
:::Is it possible that these are not installed? Where should I find those if I have /usr/lib/GNUstep as GNUstep root?&lt;br /&gt;
:::: As far as I know, there's no SystemPreferences package under Debian, which might be why you can't find it.  For some reason Debian packages Preferences (the Backbone program) and not SystemPreferences (the GNUstep program).  SystemPreferences seems to do a little more than Preferences as it's development is active, and I'm not sure if Backbone is.  In my opinion, the only Backbone program worth using is Terminal.app, because Ink can replace TextEdit and SystemPreferences can replace Preferences.&lt;br /&gt;
::::: I really like the tool &amp;quot;open&amp;quot;. TextEdit has several features more that Ink doesn't have. Does Ink handle RTFD, Font ligatures and kerning, Preferences?&lt;br /&gt;
::::: SystemPreferences doesn't build/work for me! And backbone is actively developped!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Feature Requests===&lt;br /&gt;
* it should be obvious how to install GNUstep on HD from within the Live CD (ideally by employing a GUI based wizard) &lt;br /&gt;
: I've got a text file on how to do it, what about you write an installer?&lt;br /&gt;
:: Can you mail me that file? How much is the effort needed to build such an installer (roundabout)?&lt;br /&gt;
::: Feel free to put it up on a server some where, cause I'd be interested too!  If the procedures aren't too intensive, it could probably be done by FOSDEM with sh scripts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The file is online and linked at the Installing as install.txt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Future===&lt;br /&gt;
Future versions are planned, help is welcome and needed that gnustep-make,base,gui,back in Debian packages are updated to the latest tarball releases.&lt;br /&gt;
It's about time for a new version... work has started. I'd like to have Emacs.app, Chess.app, and TextEdit.app updated... feedback and discussion, preferably on the official #gnustep irc channel.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{stub}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== ALT Linux ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Includes [http://packages.altlinux.org/en/search?query=gnustep- quite a few packages] within Sisyphus the unstable development repository as of April 2014 with most of them being maintained in stable t7/branch as well; there's no metapackage so far, so&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 apt-get install gnustep-base&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and start deploying apps you'd like to see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 apt-get install gnustep-gworkspace gnustep-Affiche&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's an installable [http://en.altlinux.org/Starterkits/gnustep LiveCD] as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Archlinux ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=GNUstep Packages]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Debian / Ubuntu ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Debian ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since Debian ''Sarge'' (3.1) you can use '''apt-get''' to obtain GNUstep packages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 # apt-get install x-window-system-core wmaker gnustep gnustep-devel gnustep-games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to install GNUstep, X11 and Window Maker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to get up-to-date GNUstep packages is to upgrade from ''stable'' to ''testing'' or ''unstable''.  If upgrading to Debian ''unstable'' is not desirable it is possible to simply add the unstable apt lines to the sources.list and specify the distribution when installing the packages, e.g.&lt;br /&gt;
 # apt-get install -t unstable gnumail.app&lt;br /&gt;
This method might upgrade some other packages to satisfy dependencies, but will have a much smaller impact on the system since only the packages on which GNUstep depends will be upgraded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ubuntu ===&lt;br /&gt;
As Ubuntu is Debian-based you can likewise install gnustep libraries (and their dependencies) via&lt;br /&gt;
 sudo apt-get install gnustep gnustep-devel&lt;br /&gt;
apt will also suggest a lot of apps to install.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Install from source: Dependencies ===&lt;br /&gt;
See [[GNUstep_under_Ubuntu_Linux]] for detailed instructions for Ubuntu (should apply to Debian as well). If you want to compile from source install the following [[Dependencies]] packages (applies to both Debian and Ubuntu):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;gobjc, libx11-dev, libx11-xft, libxmu-dev, libtiff4-dev, libpng12-dev, libungif4-dev, libart-2.0-dev, libxml2-dev, libxslt1-dev, libssl-dev, libgmp3-dev, libffcall1-dev, libcairo2-dev&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; (universe), and &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;svn&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; if you want to download the svn version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optional: &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;libaspell-dev&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; for [[GSspell.service]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please follow the instructions on [[GNUstep_SVN_installation_guide]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fedora ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This section needs updating. &lt;br /&gt;
Fedora 14 users can install GNUstep via rpm. See the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GNUstep Features] page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Gentoo ==&lt;br /&gt;
To install GNUstep libs and scripts, do&lt;br /&gt;
 emerge gnustep-env&lt;br /&gt;
For a list of GNUstep-related ebuilds, see the [http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=gnustep Online Package Database]. &lt;br /&gt;
For the most recent packages, type &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=&amp;quot;~x86&amp;quot; emerge &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;package-name&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; (or analogically for your cpu family: &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;&amp;quot;~sparc&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;&amp;quot;~ppc&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; ...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Slackware ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 10.2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Libraries and accompanying applications will build with no modifications. Slackware 10.2 ships with GCC 3.3.6, so mixed Objective-C and C++ code is not supported, meaning additional frameworks/libraries may not be supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 11.0 ===&lt;br /&gt;
This version of Slackware works the same as the previous (10.2).  Libraries and applications will build with no modifications, but due to the GCC version used (3.4.6) Objective-C++ is not supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 12.0 ===&lt;br /&gt;
GNUstep compiles and install on Slackware 12.0 perfectly.  Unfortunately, this version of Slackware does not include an Objective-C++ compiler.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 12.2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Packages ====&lt;br /&gt;
Slackware packages have been created and can be found in:&lt;br /&gt;
* [ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/slackware/ GNUstep FTP] (Please read gnustep-core.README before installing)&lt;br /&gt;
==== Build Scripts ====&lt;br /&gt;
SlackBuild scripts can be found at:&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=gnustep SlackBuilds.org GNUstep scripts]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OpenSuse ==&lt;br /&gt;
Packages for GNUstep releases can be found on the Open Build Service ([https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=X11%3AGNUstep OBS]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 11.3 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The package of pixman that comes with OpenSuse 11.3 seems to be broken for some graphic drivers. You may either downgrade or upgrade to another version of pixman (plus cairo) or use a different GNUstep backend.&lt;br /&gt;
For me upgrading to the cairo version as provided by the GNOME Factory project on the OpenSuse Build Service worked perfectly. [http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/GNOME:Factory/openSUSE_11.3/libcairo2.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A11.3&amp;amp;query=cairo]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 11.4 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Packages provided by Richard Stonehouse [http://www.rstonehouse.co.uk/extras/gnustep-general/index.html here] (including installation instructions).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 12.1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
=== Version 12.2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These versions require that you install a few dev packages (e.g. libffi dev, cairo dev, ...), then GNUstep SVN compiles out of the box.&lt;br /&gt;
