If you wanted to take a look at Linux I recommend a LiveCD.
There are two worth taking an immediate look at being Linux Mint 6 and Ubuntu 9.04
Linux is now in a position of offering a viable alternative to proprietary platforms and more than capable of offering a full desktop experience.

You download the ISO. image of either Linux Mint 6 or Ubuntu 9.04 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint 6 and Ubuntu 9.04 can also be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.

You cannot install gnome on windows.
These sites might help install gnome on red hat.
Good luck
Sorry -Gnome is really intended for Unix and Particularly Linux distributions.
You might consider the LIVE-CDs of, say, Ubuntu, as suggested above.
Windows, for better or for worse, very much connects the kernel to the windowing software. For UNIX and Linux, the windowing software is, from the kernel’s point of view, just an application.
