PLS HOW CAN CONFIGURE LINUS {RED HAT}
TO ANY BODY IN THE HOUSE THAT CAN HELP ME OUT OF THIS, PLS KINDLY MAIL ME TO salinson24@yahoo.com

Go look at NL Computer Section, using either Ubuntu Linux or Ubuntu 8.04: Optimize For Speed And Performance.

I know you talk about RedHat linux, however it is same Linux command when you configure RedHat---the same concept.

Both RedHat and Ubuntu are the Debian Linux distribution---the same. Right?

Or use google.com finding RedHat forum site you will find many configurations there.

thanks for your reply to my request, pls what is the minimal configuration of system Linus require,

thanks for your reply to my request, please what is the minimal configuration of system Linus require,

Linux OS with minimal installation will work on any oldest computer with only 128KB to 512MB RAM memory chip where customers cannot afford buying newest computer system or part upgrade/replacement unlikely Windows Vista requires 1-2 GB RAM memory chip with newer processor/CPU. (Windows Vista will not work on older pc with less than 512mb RAM memory chip).

Anyway, Linux OS will also work on newer system too. I use Windows XP professional OS and Ubuntu linux OS as dual-boot with 1GB RAM and 140GB hard disk drive to split sharing two hard disk partitions---no problem!

Therefore, you can install your RedHat Linux on your existing Windows XP or Vista that will be your dual-boot. Read my posting on "Ubuntu 8.04: Optimize For Speed And Performance "---somewhere explaining how dual-boot works.

I suggest you to download Wubi Installer software first (click here for details) before you download RedHat Linux in case of you change your mind to uninstall Linux OS later that will make your life much easier.(Wubi Installer will remove Linux partition for you automatically)

Without installing Wubi Installer, you have to follow step-by-step instruction with using your own Windows OS cd to boot with Recovery selection and fixmbr command in order to remove specified partition where Linux installed then reboot your system manually. Of course, I also provide remove Linux OS instruction on Computer section mentioned above same link (download-Wubi Installer) just scroll down for manual instruction part.

Wubi Installer will work all linux distro (Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora, BSD, MintLinux, goes on. . .)

Remember: RedHat Linux OS will work sharing the same Linux command/kernal as well as Ubuntu Linux OS too.

Good luck exploring your new Linux user.

well it is easy. first if you are using a windows based machine first of all download VMware which is on the net Google it. secondly if you have a fast speed like 1mg you could download redhat Linux from so many ISO sites. Bingo write the iso in a cd or keep them in a path on your computer . Start your vmware and read the help files to get more info.

Very nice contribution. But I will love to ask a question, there seems to be this inferiority complex of Debian Package Management in comparison to RPM. Can u shed more light in that? Then some applications seems to be better suited to RPM than Debian is that a fact? Am even considering my Ubuntu and installing a Fresh copy of Fedora after seeing is Wonders.

According to the wiki site, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager, RPM Package Manager (originally Red Hat Package Manager, abbreviated RPM) is a package management system. The name RPM refers to two things: a software package file format, and software packaged in this format. RPM was intended primarily for Linux distributions; the file format RPM is the baseline package format of the Linux Standard Base.

RPM-based Linux distributions are not limited to:

[list]
[li]Fedora [/li]
[li]Mandriva Linux and derivatives: [/li]

[li]PLD Linux Distribution [/li]
[li]Linux XP [/li]
[li]TurboLinux[/li]
[li]PCLinuxOS [/li]
[/list]

By constrast, Ubuntu uses Synaptic Package Manager (wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptic_Package_Manager ).

Synaptic is a computer program which is a GTK+ graphical user interface front-end to the Advanced Packaging Tool for the Debian package management system. Synaptic is usually used on systems based on deb packages but can also be used on systems based on RPM packages. It can be used to install, remove and upgrade software packages and to add repositories.

Basically for my answer, RPM normally uses that file format ".rpm" package while Synaptic/Debian uses that file format ".deb" also does work on ".rpm" too.

Do you aware that you can run Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop or Internet Explorer on Linux OS? Ever heard of WINE, Win4lin, Crossover, or VMware? These are all virtual machines (emulators) which make it possible to run a guest OS on a different OS. In any case, have you tried Openoffice? For me, it is much better and functional than MS Office. It even natively allows you to save your documents as .pdf not needing the expensive full adobe acrobat product. And with the new version 2.0 Abi which has an inbuilt data base program much like microsoft access, I don't even need to use MS office anymore.

See my previous postings: Can Windows applications run on Linux OS? and How Do I Know If Windows applications work running on Linux OS like Ubuntu?

U have all spoken well, but the question is too ambigous

How can I configure Red Hat Linux? What I think is how can u install?

If it is install, then if you are a developer DO NOT INSTALL REDHAT

If you are a developer DO NOT INSTALL REDHAT just for emphasis sake

REDHAT is good for what it is good for, a server system. Also note that red-hat is not free, so if u want something similar to readhat that is free consider CentOS. These are good, very good as servers, but as developement machines, I better use something else

If you want to get down and dirty, and u dont mind losing ur data due to improper partitioning, then consider Arch Linux, but seriously,, even I dont use it on my system, I use it only on my VM to test some funky stuffs

My recommendation is d bleeding edge Fedora Linux, I have used Libranet(Debian), tasted Ubuntu(Debian), used SuSE(rpm based), used CentOS(rpm based) and now Fedora(rmp based)

I found Fedora the best of all, as a developer

If you fancy a nice UI, similar to Vista, then try SuSE 11,

How do you install? goto the website of the particular distro you want to install, they always have a detailed how-to-install
