Configure and launch

[brian french <bfrench apt302 com>]

hey,

i am new to linus, and i already love it, it's great, but i have a 
question, i installed gnome via redhat, and now i can't figure out how to 
launch it. If i type in startx it loads XFree86 and not gnome and i also 
was wondering how to configure Xwindows and gnome and if i have to before i 
launch it. please help,

thanx
Brian
