The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.

Mate is a graphical desktop forked from gnome2. It is under active development and is a viable alternative to gnome2, which is no longer supported. To install mate on trisquel 5.5 open up the terminal and type the following to add the mate ppa to your system:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu oneiric main" sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://repo.mate-desktop.org/ubuntu oneiric main" sudo apt-get update

Next you'll need to install the mate keyring and run an apt-get update.

sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring sudo apt-get update

Now its time to install Mate.

sudo apt-get install mate-core mate-desktop-environment

Congratulations, Mate has now been installed on your copy of trisquel. To use it simple choose the Mate option in the dropdown menu at the login screen.
