Is this really a suitable question for server fault? There must be ton of support for CentOS users online, including here http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/ – Coops Jul 15 '09 at 07:01

sudo yum install gnome-desktop
Breakdown:
- sudo to gain administrative permissions (installation of package)
- yum is Redhat's package manager, it can perform various actions such as install, remove and update
- install is what you want yum to do, in this case it's quite clear
- gnome-desktop is the name of the package to install

Thanks; does centOS has the required libraries(sources) already bundled or do I need to download them. – Krishna Kumar Jul 15 '09 at 06:58
