How to Installing GNOME on CentOS 6.4 minimal

9:04 AM

1. Introduction
GNOME  is a desktop environment and graphical user interface that runs on top of a computer operating system. It is composed entirely of free and open source software and is developed by both volunteers and paid contributors, the largest corporate contributor being Red Hat. It is an international project that includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs that manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.
2. Install Gnome
If you installed CentOS 6.4 from CD-minimal, you don’t have GUI manager by default. To fix that, use command below
#yum groupinstall basic-desktop desktop-platform x11 fonts
You can start GNOME using startx command now. 
In some cases you have to edit the file /etc/initab
To fix that switch default runlevel to 5 – replace id:3:initdefault: in /etc/inittab file with id:5:initdefault: after installing Desktop 
Environment & Xorg packages.Then you reboot 
 
Good Luck For You!!
