This is from there support site. http://www.libranet.com/support/view.cgi?v...&item=0301.html Like I said though I don't know if it will work, but it would be worth a try.

SCO is a nutshell.

Well, it's just another option for you. There are 3 RH (X) books on Amazon.com to be release when ever the final is, RH books are about the only distro you will find that keeps up2date off of books. I normally just download the 3 basic iso's and maybe src-iso's later so I never worry about all the extras you can get.

I was righting my post when you must have submitted yours so ignore the buy it online from RH. It's an FYI to others.

Keep in mind that it doesn't tell you that RH wont offer them to buy off of there site either. Also, you could alway's buy a book like RH bible and get the CD's off of it. So it will still be out to get if you don't have a fast connection to download for FREE!

I pretty much agree with everything you have said. Except the SunBlade, I would leave Solaris on it. :wink:

China looks like evil because there goverment is evil, Hu Jintao is a bad dude! Communist is a horable way to live life, needs to go down like the Berlin wall & Russia. :wink: WOAH. Let's not get into a political debate. I said they look evil because they invaded a peaceful country. Period. It has nothing to do with communism. Besides - how can you say that about communism - have you ever lived in it? I haven't, so I can't say anything about it. I have lived in capitalist democracy, so I know that certainly doesn't work. It's all opinion - no one can say anything is "right" or "wrong" in politics. There is nothing to debate here. We believe in linux, others believe in Microsoft. If M$ ever tried to take us on, it would be one evil american corp against the world, just like China versus the more than 50 countries who support Tibet. Well I work with a friend that just left China a few years after being there all his life so I'm baseing most of my opinion off of his. I have more opinions than that but I wont share them here.

China looks like evil because there goverment is evil, Hu Jintao is a bad dude! Communist is a horable way to live life, needs to go down like the Berlin wall & Russia. :wink:

Just recieved this e-mail from my RH list! And there off..... Thank you gentlemen. This is rumor control. Here are the facts. As some of you know, new Red Hat Linux Beta bits crash landed here at 1000 on the morning watch. There was one survivor. Two dead processes, and a daemon that was hopelessly smashed beyond repair. The survivor is called SEVERN. It's that time again. (Time to floss?) (Time to make a gooky?) No, it's time for a Red Hat Linux Beta, named SEVERN. "I just want to say that I took a vow of stability. That also includes betas. We all took the vow. Now let me say, that I for one, do not appreciate Company policy allowing beta bits to freely intermingle..." "Cheeky bastard, right sir?" "What brother means to say is ... We view the presence of any outside OS, beta, as a violation of the stability, a potential break in the spiritual unity." We are well aware of your feelings in this matter. You will be pleased to know that I have requested a testing team - Hopefully, they will be here inside of a few hours and evaluate it A.S.A.P. As always, betas such as SEVERN are not intended for use on production environments. Use as such could lead to your machines being slaughtered like pigs by the dragon. Or just public laughter. Problems with SEVERN should be reported via bugzilla, at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ What's its development status? "It doesn't seem too horrendously in flux. Difficult at this moment to make a specific diagnosis." Among other things, SEVERN has: - a new graphical boot - GCC 3.3 - an updated 2.4.21 kernel - updated Evolution and Mozilla - and more! Will it live? "Yes, I should think so." Look, none of us here is naive. It's in everybody's best interests if this beta doesn't come out into production until the testing team is through with it. And certainly not without the proper qualification and bug reports. Right? So we should all stick to our set routines and not get unduly agitated. Correct? All right. Thank you gentlemen. Speaking of unduly agitated... there's lots of rumors going on about Red Hat Linux. We've been doing it for nearly ten years now, and in that time, there's been various changes. From rpp to RPM, from Red Hat Commercial Linux to Official Red Hat Linux, from 'install' to anaconda. And now, we're making another change. We changed the rules. We said our Linux should be your Linux. Just as most of the software in Red Hat Linux is developed in an open fashion, so should Red Hat Linux itself; driven by those who develop, test, document, and translate. To accomplish this, we're opening up our process. Now this is an evolution, not a revolution. The first steps will be moving much of our development discussions and schedules external, via mailing lists and other means, and including external developers in the process of making technical decisions. More will be done from there. Red Hat Linux will remain as it has been; a freely available general purpose operating system, released on the average every six months. For more information, see: http://rhl.redhat.com/ For discussion of SEVERN, send mail to: rhl-beta-list-request@redhat.com with subscribe in the subject line. You can leave the body empty. Or see: https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhl-beta-list/ As always, you can get SEVERN at redhat.com, specifically: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/beta/severn/ Or the following mirrors: North America: United States: ftp://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://linux.stanford.edu/pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/RedHat/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://mirror.eas.muohio.edu/mirrors/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/redhat/beta/severn/ ftp://redhat.dulug.duke.edu/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ rsync://rsync.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ Canada: ftp://less.cogeco.net/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp.nrc.ca/pub/systems/linux/redhat/ftp.redhat.com/linux/beta/severn/ South America: Brazil: http://bastion.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn ftp://bastion.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn Chile: ftp://ftp.tecnoera.com/Linux/redhat-beta/severn/ Europe: Austria: ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/redhat.com/dist/linux/beta/severn/ http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/redhat.com/dist/linux/beta/severn/ rsync://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/redhat.com/dist/linux/beta/severn/ Czech Republic: ftp://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ultra.linux.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp6.linux.cz/pub/linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ Denmark: ftp://klid.dk/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ Germany: ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/redhat-ftp/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/redhat-ftp/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/linux/Mirror/ftp.redhat.com/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ Ireland: ftp://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ rsync://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ Netherlands: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/RedHat/ftp/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/RedHat/ftp/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://alviss.et.tudelft.nl/pub/redhat/beta/severn/ Poland: ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ rsync://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/ftp/pub/Linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ Romania: ftp://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ rsync://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ Turkey: ftp://ftp.linux.org.tr/pub/redhat/beta/severn/ United Kingdom: http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/redhat/beta/severn/ ftp://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/redhat/beta/severn/ rsync://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/ftp/pub/distributions/redhat/beta/severn/ Asia/Pacific: Australia: http://planetmirror.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/redhat/linux/severn/ ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/redhat/linux/severn/ Japan: ftp://ftp.sfc.wide.ad.jp/pub/Linux/RedHat/linux/beta/severn/ Singapore: ftp://ftp.oss.eznetsols.org/linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ rsync://rsync.oss.eznetsols.org/linux/redhat/linux/beta/severn/ One additional feature provided by the Linux community is the availability of SEVERN via BitTorrent. http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/severn-binary-iso.torrent http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/severn-source-iso.torrent RPMS for Red Hat Linux 7.3 through 9 of BitTorrent are available from: http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/btrpms/ Usage is simple: btdownloadcurses.py --url http://URL.torrent Allow incoming TCP 6881 - 6889 to join the torrent swarm. http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/ -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list Currently I'm downloading at 3.5Mbps so I can't tell you what mirror I'm on. :wink: The e-mail is a little odd!

Doesn't appear to be one out yet, this is from there site. http://www.mp3pro.ws/articles/article011.htm

It looks to be installed, Have you tried just running: $ superkaramba Have you downloaded any themes? http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ http://freshmeat.net/releases/126487/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/superkaramba...pic_id=57%2C957

In case anyone cares the lastest RH beta will be coming out today or sometime this week. Here's is the release notes. http://distrowatch.com/external/RedHat-Sev...ease-Notes.html Here are some other notes from Distrowatch http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20030721 Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 (Severn) Yes, it's the start of another beta testing period for Red Hat users once Red Hat Linux 9.0.93, code name "Severn" is released later today (no, we are not going to speculate on what the final release is going to be called). Don't expect too much new, however, as the beta release appears to be more of a consolidation release of Red Hat Linux 9, rather than a release full of cutting edge features. Severn has been spotted on many Red Hat mirrors, but the directory is still locked. If you can't wait until the official announcement, read the Severn release notes. The release will likely be accompanied by further announcements. Many of you have seen the usual attention-grabbing headline from Linux and Main: "Red Hat to abandon retail channel" which was later "updated" to "Red Hat to change development model, abandon shrinkwrap". The full story is here. We'll wait for the full announcement before making any comments, but things rarely look as bad as journalist make them look and you will certainly be able to buy the Red Hat Linux distribution in the future. In fact, the experimental launch of the Red Hat Linux magazine in Germany and Italy seems like a great success and similar models might be on the cards for other parts of the world. There will be more on the subject in the next weekly edition of Linux Weekly News, including an interview with Red Hat's Matt Wilson.

I've alway's had to go into themes/details/install theme, close out of the app and go back into see the theme, most of the time it only shows up under detail & not in the main window in RH.

I vote for vsftpd, it's faster and has a TON of config files! :wink:

/tmp is just temporary, it is flushed out when you reboot.

Yes,

IF your going to make such a statement, why don't you explain why you feel like that in a NICE manner. THank you,

Yes

40° 54' N 117° 48' W Elko, NV. That's brilliant!

If you want, someone could test it, just change: #Libranet deb http://libranetlinux.com updates/2.7/ deb http://libranetlinux.com security/2.7/ to #Libranet deb http://libranetlinux.com updates/2.8/ deb http://libranetlinux.com security/2.8/

For anyone who wanted to give Libranet a try but didn't want to pay for it, you can download the 2.7 classic addition for FREE now. ftp://dlc:39g4ax@207.44.232.33/ I would imagine that you can change the sources.list file to 2.8 and be able to update to the latest, but that is just a GUESS!

Slackware will run on most old hardware! RH is still ok for i386 too.

I just thought I would post some info about going back to slack. First I upgraded to the 2.4.21 kernel loaded my Nvidia drivers and downloaded the DroplineGnome package.

If you notice to, there moveing from i386-i486 pkg's. The CD I used to install Slack was a Current CD I created about a month ago so a lot of packages were already current and compiled for i486. Also Dropline Gnome is compiled for i686 & quite a bit of packages from linuxpackages.net are i686 compiled. I must say, it's nice and fast(lean and mean). I'm off, take it easy and I'll keep slacking (for the time being) :wink:
