Confused about X Window and GNOME / KDE

Hi!

I am trying to configure FreeNX (one Remote X desktop software) on my VPS (CentOS 5.5). I have googled and found several different tutorials.

One textbook says:

yum  groupinstall "X Window System"
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

Another says:

For a KDE desktop, do "yum install -y kdebase". 
For Gnome, do "yum install -y gnome-session".

I want to know:

  • Is the "X Window System" possible? When I googled, it says that the "X Window System" is the foundation of KDE and GNOME. In some tutorials, the "X Window System" eats a lot of computer memory, and this is not necessary if you have a small computer memory. I'm confused.

  • If I am going to install Firefox and extensions on my VPS, is there yum install -y kdebaseenough? Should i use yum -y groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"?

Thank you so much!
