GUI-based Installation

Although RPM packages are typically installed via command line, some Linux distributions have GUI-based package managers, like  gnomerpm . Some distributions will also allow for double-clicking the RPM file in a directory browser, which will invoke RPM with default arguments. You can try this with your Linux-based system.
