Update GNOME
 

How, exactly, do i update GNOME? (:newbie: here :))

apt-get? red-carpet? source rpms? tarballs? So many choices... I guess it is up to you to pick your favorite way now.

# Redhat links

Maximum RPM

Easier software management: APT-RPM - Red Carpet

# Redhat 8.0 configuration commands
Configure soundcard:
redhat-config-soundcard
Configure X server:
redhat-config-xfree86

I second Red Carpet. It's by far the easiest way to update ANYTHING.

Personally, I think it's hard to beat Gentoo's emerge for updating anything.

I haven't used Gentoo, but there's no way it can be easier than Red Carpet ;)

emerge -u gnome

Is that hard?

johan: it depends how you installed it. If you're using redhat 8, then wait until 8.1 comes out, redhat release every 6 months roughly, that's by far the easiest. Otherwise red carpet or garnome will do the trick, but you have to be happy screwing around with your system to do that.

Yes. :p

In the SuSE 8.1 Pro, I make with Garnome :D
