Gnome startup & books

[Dan Wilson]

I'd like to switch from KDE to Gnome. I tried "switchdesk gnome" in a 
shell, but was informed that Gnome is not installed. When I use the 
Find File command from the YDL menu, several Gnome files and 
directories are listed. So, obviously, I have to reinstall Gnome (I 
would have thought it would be installed and set up during the initial 
installation...). If I use yum to install Gnome, will the command "yum 
install gnome*" get everything necessary? And would there be any 
additional configuration necessary (getting Gnome to show up in the 
Sessions list at logon, etc.)?

YDL 3 is based on Red Hat Linux 9, right? I was looking at Red Hat 
Linux 9 Bible as a reference, and wanted to make sure that there will 
be a pretty close match. Are there any other reference books that are 
good?

Thanks.
