Install Xwindows and Gnome on Centos with Yum
I recently had need to add XWindows to a Centos 4.x install that didn't have X or Gnome. I was doing this under VMware which added slightly to the degree of difficulty. As it turns out, using Yum makes this a very easy process, although you probably end up with some bloated packageware.
Pay close attention to the capitalization -- Yum is picky. "Gnome desktop environment" won't work, for example.
CODE:
# yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment"

You can get around this error by adding --exclude nautilus-sendto
to the end of yum command mentioned previously.
