Advantages: Simplicity, Compatability

Disadvantages: Not Heavily Customisable, Some Think It Is To Dummed Down For Windows Users

Gnome is an Grapical User Interface for linux operating systems, it is good at what it does and only second to KDE in some people's view.

many applications are available that are compatible with Gnome and KDE and GTK+ apps can be run through Gnome with the correct crossover software installed (Runtimes), Gnome can be customised to handle networks and internet connections, monitor battery life on laptops, adjust audio settings.

It has customizable desktop themes and screensavers, can run word processing programs, games, instant messengers and a whole lot more.

some complain that it has been over-simplified for users and lacks the customizability of KDE, Gnome is more geared towards Ex-Windows users who want a friendly first time linux experience.

most people will come across Gnome already installed within a linux distribution and this is a lot more prefferable than setting it up via text commands as various other applications have to be installed before Gnome can be used,

Gnome is a good preinstalled GUI for window's users dabbling in linux, and a good place to start would be the Ubuntu OS available free online.
