>Tarball (i.e. compressed archives of the source code using
      tar and gzip) releases of GNOME are made at <A
HREF="ftp://ftp.gnome.org"
TARGET="_top"
>ftp://ftp.gnome.org</A
> under the <A
HREF="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME"
TARGET="_top"
>/pub/GNOME/</A
> directory. These
      files are then copied to the GNOME FTP mirror sites, listed at
      <A
HREF="http://www.gnome.org/ftpmirrors.shtml"
TARGET="_top"
>http://www.gnome.org/ftpmirrors.shtml</A
>. If both the
      ftp and web site are down, a relatively safe mirror is at <A
HREF="ftp://gnomeftp.wgn.net/pub/gnome"
TARGET="_top"
>ftp://gnomeftp.wgn.net/pub/gnome</A
>.</P

>These tarballs are the only official releases of GNOME,
      and the only version that the developers can be guaranteed to
      have direct control over.  Currently, the most recent versions
      of each package can be found in <A
HREF="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/latest"
TARGET="_top"
>      sources/latest</A
>, the current grouping of tarballs for the
      GNOME-1.0 release are in <A
HREF="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/gnome-1.0/sources"
TARGET="_top"
>      gnome-1.0/sources</A

>If you want up-to-date development tarballs of GNOME,
      <A

      daily snapshots of the development tree in tarball form. You can
      get them at <A
HREF="ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/gnome/snap"
TARGET="_top"
>ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/gnome/snap</A
>. Generally
      he keeps a few key days of each package on file, and diff files
      so that you can recreate the snapshots of any other day.  Note
      that these are not releases, they are unstable snapshots, and
      should not be used in a production system unless you know
      exactly what you are doing.</P
