I have installed my CentOS machine with the GNOME desktop environment. I would like to change it to KDE. I am already in the process of downloading and installing KDE packages, will that conflict with GNOME?
- Can I keep both desktop environments and choose what I want to use?
- How can I remove the GNOME packages and not disturb my current configuration in anyway?
I am a new user and hence would like to encounter as little complications as possible, please advise.

@Sathya - :) I have already installed KDE now, said that in the post too.. more interested in removing the GNOME environment without causing any conflicts or problems. – rzlines – 2010-12-08T13:48:46.827
1OK- you can keep both DE if you want. To remove Gnome it should be
yum groupremove "GNOME". Since you have KDE Installed, it shouldn't be a problem - but I've not done this hence I'm leaving as a comment rather than a definitive answer :) @rzlines – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-12-08T15:07:03.823@Sathya - Wondering if I should go ahead and do that? or wait till I get a definitive reply? I'm new to this and I have done a lot of modifications to my setup. – rzlines – 2010-12-08T18:12:21.103
1I'd wait for someone like @Gilles or @Ignacio to reply :) both are quite experienced in this regard :) – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-12-08T18:16:27.753
