LXDE installation on the RHEL or CentOS operating system

[Abdula]

Hello,

Unfortunately, you have not created a ready-made binary packets for RHEL and CentOS OS.
RedHat company also does not create them.
It is inexplicable why there is such a cool attitude of LXDE and RHEL.

And how can I install LXDE on RHEL 5.x and RHEL 6?
Do not offer to compile the reference texts, because I do not have any desire to recourse to this barbaric method.

Hello Abdula,
I use Debian so I don't have direct experience on the subject. But maybe Fedora's packages could work?

Heya,
seems this post is a little dated, but i hope the following is still helpfull for others.

Have to admit i use neither, RHEL nor CentOS, however, i'm using Fedora LXDE
Thus, they provide the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo yum groupinstall lxde-desktop

Hope this helps

PS:
You might want to change the login manager as well, change (or create) the file:
"/etc/sysconfig/desktop" and add the line
"DISPLAYMANAGER=lxdm"

Any good or way too dangerous?

Have to admit i use neither, RHEL nor CentOS,

Ditto.

I've never been a fan of RHEL and whatever based on it. This is my own personal opinion and YMMV

I have used Fedora LXDE before so I know Fedora is using LXDE in one of their Spins.

Why to blame LXDE? If I run a company or a project for any Linux Distribution and I want to give "more" options to my users, I would definitely do my best to include as many alternatives as possible.
I feel comfortable when I'll find many other alternatives/Desktop Environments in one distributions but when that distribution is giving me few options, I then have to find a way to install or include my favorite package/DE/etc or carry on and find a better distribution.

Linux has more than 300 active distributions and I see no problem (sometimes and at some point) if some or many distros don't meet my needs. After all, all are using the same Kernel and as all or most of you know, Linux is very Flexible and Customizable.
