No, it does not replace X, but is a desktop environment independent of which window manager you run. >Also I cannot figure out how to get it going. I thought GNOME was available on RH5.2. Can >anyone help me on how to get it going? There is a copy on the RH5.2 CD, but it is an old version. The path to the binary RPMs on my RH5.2 CD is <cd_mount_point>/gnome/rpms/i386 It may be because I am using the Macmillan set, but I'm not sure. You could always download the RH6.0 RPMs for Gnome to get a newer version, but have fun getting all the correct libraries. :) Maybe the others will be able to help, I haven't tried upgrading mine, this system already runs it a little to slow.
