EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS Let us say you want to install XFCE If you run: yum grouplist you will see there is a group called: XFCE Software Development So you can run: yum groupinstall XFCE after the installation at the point that you are logging in after you enter your username, you will see a window of choices below the passwd enter field. By default in might say: Gnome Changing the field to choose XFCE and you will be logged in to XFCE. >From then on until you change it you will be logged on to XFCE every time you login. You may find other DE options are already on the list. They can be chosen at the time you install F15. > > I use Fedora on my workstation and Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop.
