I'm running RedHat Linux, how do I get RPMs?

Periodically, RedHat Labs produces RPMs of the GNOME releases for RedHat Linux, and they get put on the website. The latest version is currently in gnome-1.0/redhat. They are built for alpha, sparc and i386 platforms. Make sure you get the RPMs from the noarch directory as well, whichever platform you are on. Step-by-step instructions for these RPMs can be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/getting_rh.shtml.

These RPMs should also work fine for Mandrake Linux, and the MacMillian and CheapBytes RedHat distributions as well. These RPMs are likely to have problems with Caldera, S.u.S.E., and other RPM-based distributions; read below for more help for these systems.

These RPMs are compiled for sound support, which is great unless you have no sound card on your system. If someone wants to maintain a RedHat Linux RPM distribution compiled without sound support, we will gladly put it on FTP as well.
