Hi All,

I only installed SL6 Basic server.  This means I have no graphics and am
sitting at run level 3.  Now that Xfce 4.8 x86_64 is out, I am about to get
my graphics.  I will not be able to physically get at my new server until
Monday.  So, some stupid question till I can see for myself.

I plan on installing kmod-nvidia and nvidia-x11-drv from elrepo
and group installing xfce from epel.

Just out of curiosity, do I need to install gdm as well?  Or, will it
get caught in a tidal wave of dependencies?

Also, do you see any flaws in my plan?

Many thanks,
-T
