X is the graphical environment that communicates with your video hardware to display graphics, the mouse pointer, etc. GNOME is a desktop environment that has everything you need to run and manage running grapical applications. It has a window manager, provides a desktop background, and other features to make using apps easier. The various components of GNOME communicate with X to display their content. > also, what packages do I need to install in order to enable gnoe? > I didn't install it with fedora core since I'm unsure if gnome will start automatically as x does if I select that during the installation. I am unable to help you there, as even though a lot of distros package GNOME, they all package it differently. > is there automatic boot of gnome like for x? > thanks Automatic booting of GNOME requires X to do so. So in effect, X is being loaded, but with GNOME as well. - -- Luke Get my public GPG key here: http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCdeeTjVefwtBjIM4RAhBKAJ43tB4QWur3R/tOmpu1EfriTZG2qgCdHChS KqDTc7uFofTqHAkLPNzsji8= =mGHy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
