It's Red Hat based ... To answer your question on how to remove ... If you're using a RedHat based distro you should be able to: rpm -qa | grep XFree This will get you a list of installed XFree packages. rpm --erase <package-name.rpm> will uninstall it. You may be able to rpm --erase XFree* to get them all at once. It works for installs and may work for un-installs too though I've not actually tried it. rpm -R <package-name.rpm> will show you dependencies and may give clues to what order packages must be un-installed if you have trouble. Also, both KDE and Gnome have rpm front-ends that should help you both install and uninstall packages in several formats (.rpm and .deb plus some others - though I don't think it's generally recommended to use package formats other than that which is native for your distro). It would make life easier in some respects if one of these is available for your distro.
