then enter. that's probably not the best way however.

Hi
Assuming GNOME is set as your desktop, the command is:
startx

Thank you. I was familiar with the startx command, but wanted to make
sure that I was using the command that would load gnome whether it was
the default or not. It is my understanding that startx can also load
KDE, is this correct?
Thanks,
Sina

See my earlier message. If you create the .xinitrc file, you will make
certain that Gnome starts for your user.

You could try creating a .xinitrc file in your home directory. (Note the
dot in .xinitrc) In the .xinitrc file put
exec gnome-session
Save it and then type
startx
You should end in a gnome session. Remember that you will switch
consoles as X starts so you might get a lot of talking from your synth
as you switch. If you want to look at the errors that happen during
your session, use ctl-alt-function key to get back to the console where
you ran the startx command. When you end the Gnome session, you will be
returned to the console where you typed the startx command.
Personally, I find it easier to let gdm start and log in using it
instead of starting Gnome from a text console.
