CentOS

Hi, I want to surf the web from my centos box, I presume there is a web browser installed by default, how do I get it running ?


Thanks in advance.

Firefox maybe (on the Internet sub-menu).

If not, try 'yum install firefox'

Also, see here:

Cool, will give it a try. Also, I am not running a GUI, how do I run a GUI ? Currently i just login using putty.

Then run a web browser on the machine you're sat in front of.

Or, if you want to take advantage of the vast superiority of running a Linux desktop (I'm guessing from PuTTY that you are on Windows), At the CentOS console log in as root, then
[code]
yum clean all
yum update
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" "Graphical Internet" "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
system-config-display
[/code]
Edit /etc/inittab and find the line[code]id:3:initdefault:[/code]Change it to read[code]id:5:initdefault:[/code]
Reboot.
Sit at the CentOS machine and log in as a user, not root.
Try out GNOME and KDE and pick your favorite.
Enjoy!
