I just re-installed a RH6.1 sys last night, and I didn't even select GNOME
for the install, yet, what do I get when I boot it up and run startx?
GNOME...... what's up with that?

I don't know about a broken installer, I ordered the $30 version from RH
and installed it on two machines without a hitch. I always install Gnome
and KDE; that seems simple to me.
On the other hand, I've sunk all day trying to get NT and then Win95 to
install a stable OS on a single machine. How I'd love to just do Linux....
