Gnome is the desktop environment. Think of it as what you see. The menus, the desktop, the toolbars, etc.
GNOME (pronounced /ɡəˈnoʊm/)[1] is a desktop environment-the graphical user interface which runs on top of a computer operating system-composed entirely of free software. It is an international project that includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management. GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably those built on top of the Linux kernel and the GNU system, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris. The name originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME

I don't know about GNOME 2.32 specifically, but Debian Stable (At least until Wheezy becomes Stable.) still uses GNOME 2. If you want to remain using a GNOME 2-like interface on a current-version Linux distribution, I recommend MATE. MATE is a fork of GNOME 2, pretty much exists because GNOME 3 is too far a departure from GNOME 2 for many people.
