Installting Linux packages

hi,

I wants to customize the Linux packages after installting the Linux OS...

I am not able to install the packages packages in GUI mode System-> Administration->add/remove software.i want to install some desktop and dabase related packages how do i install those packages...

I use RHEL6.2 server...

for red hat RHEL 6.2 ( you are aware that RHEL6.4 is the current and 6.5 is in testing)

you need to have a valid up to date and paid for support contract
for a server install that can be from $799 to over $8600 per year
https://www.redhat.com/wapps/store/catalog.html

now for a Desktop install ( like in the office)
the standard one year is $299 per year
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/

then just use "yum"

Code:

su -

yum install programname

----

yum install yum-util

---- or ----

yum update

for the "desktop" i am guessing it is Gnome2
redhat basically dose NOT have a GUI tool to install software
there is yumex and a POS thing in gnome
but they really do not work well

use the terminal and yum !

you might want to read the yum help page

Code:

su -

yum --help 



-- and the manual --



man yum

for something for the Gnome desktop

Code:

su -

yum search gnome

you might also want to READ the red hat documentation
https://access.redhat.com/site/docum...erprise_Linux/

select any one & install with yum

yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment"

To install the KDE desktop environment,

yum groupinstall "X Window System" KDE

To install the XFCE desktop environment,
