Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know how to uninstall GNOME from Redhat 8, so that I can use
just the "plain" X-Windows manager?
I tried using the RPM GUI, but it only allowed me to uninstall "extra" GNOME
packages, not the "standard" ones, which I assume are needed to run GNOME.
Thanks!
Red Hat's web of dependencies make it difficult to get rid of it
entirely. You should probably keep at least the gtk+ and gtk2 libraries
because many non-Gnome applications use them.

Install apt-get from this address then do the following:
apt-get update
apt-get install synaptic
synaptic
Synaptic is a decent RPM GUI that will help you see packages. If you
remove one package it tells you which others need to be removed due to
dependencies.
Other useful apt-get commands:
apt-get upgrade (Update all packages safely)
apt-get dist-upgrade (Update all packages)
apt-get remove something (remove something and dependencies of it)
