GNOME and KDE desktop

[dvrbabu]

Hi, I have few question to clarify.

1) I am new to linux and I installed RHL 7.2 on x86 server.
But defaul GNOME desktop is appeared and I want to change it to KDE desktop. How can I changed this?

2)In the GNOME termial if I give command like rpm -g its giving
RMP version 4.0.3
This program may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU GPL
Usage: rpm { --help}
rpm { --version}
Why its giving the above ouput instead of shwoing all the rpm pakcages?


3) How to start the mysql database?

Thanks.

Hi and Welcome !

RH 7.2 is obsolete. Is there any particular reason for installing RH7.2 only? You wont get any software/security updates and it doesn't support most of latest hardware. I would suggest you to install latest version of Fedora or CentOS only.

Having that said, did you install KDE during installation? IIRC, RedHat doesn't install KDE by default.
