Fedora updates

Installed Gnome Desktop Environment last night in order to get a dual-monitor working environment.


yum groupinstall "Gnome Desktop Environment"


Simple set up with "system/preferences/display". Click click and now I've got two screens. How did I live without it? I normally use fluxbox as my window manager. Fluxbox is very minimal, light and fast. However, the last thing that I wanted to do was dick about with X11, Xorg, or what ever. Gnome has made this process so simple that I'll consider using it full time.


yum update -y
