Redhat 9.0

[TheNissanMan]

Has anyone else played with the new release of Redhat....

Very easy to use, easy install interface etc... Looks a little different to 8.0.

I've just set it up as web/ftp server will set it up for DHCP and DNS later so now have to see how stable it is, fingers crossed but being UNIX don't doubt that it'll be superb....

Any chance of a copy Ryan - I'll give it a whirl.

It's free download from redhat or I can copy it and bring it to the Cotswolds....

Best mirror site I found for d/l'ing it is:

ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/

Mind you hope you have Cable/ADSL as it's 3 CD's, let us know if you want me to burn a copy off, I think I have some blanks at home....

Tanks Ryan,

Started downloading already! We've got a fat pipe - it's coming down at 300/sec so shouldnt take too long.

Cheers,

Steve.

300k is a !Removed! good d/l speed for anyone to have into there office over normal business traffic, winmx must be a dream lol....

he said fat pipe.. not connection ;)

BTW

FreeBSD is UNIX. Linux is GNU

[Steve Ratcliffe]

Isn't GNU a clinic for people with Galloping Nob Rott ?

[+Steve]

thats why ryan downloaded it

And T1/E1 is generally a big Pipe (E1=2mb, Uk-Eur/T1=1.56Mb, US. I think).... easier to refer to any system offering any form of internet connectivity as a connection.
