[Server-devel] Newbie problems

[Varun Arora]

Hey Anna,

Thanks for that. Yes, I did the yum groupinstall all of them. Unfortunately,
GNOME fails to log me in as a root or just another user. So I reverted back
to command-line. I don't know why that instability. Maybe its specific to
me.

MySQL works well after the install. (It was just funny to have Moodle
pre-installed without MySQL!)
