Your best bet is to install Ximian-Gnome and install everything so 
that you have the latest/greatest of it all.  The Ximian installer is 
completely automated, so once you answer a couple of questions, you 
should be able to walk away for a while and come back to a completely 
installed machine.

Your other option is to switch to Debian and use apt-get :)
(trust me, once you switch to Debian and get used to it's few quirks, 
 you'll never go back to RH! )

HTH, Good luck!
