Is there a GUI console for Oracle Linux

JimboJan 7 2013 — edited Jan 9 2013

Hi,

I have installed Oracle Linux 6-2 and was wondering if there is a GUI console for this ( similar to what was previously Gnome on Redhat etc ) in order to allow me to run multiple terminal windows from the console itself ( rather than from a remote client ).

I believe there is an xorg-x11-twm ( Tiny Windows Manager ) package available from the Public YUM site. However I am not sure if this is what would provide me what I am after.

Also the package appears to come as
xorg-x11-twm-1.0.3-5.1.elf.i686.rpm as well as
xorg-x11-twm-1.0.3-5.1.elf.src.rpm

I presume i686 is the binary package and src is the source for the package ?

Any insight appreciated.
Jim
