RedHat8

I just installed RH8 on an Hplc2000 running Samba. Thanks for all the help that this site provided. Is there a standard patch bundle for the linux OS that should be installed after a cold install? My telnet sessions seem a bit sluggish.

The standard patch bundle is known as Red Hat 9. It started out as Red Hat 8.1 but they added so many features, they decided it was a major release.

Also there is an Update feature under programs system tools that lets you connect to the Red Hat Network and download and install via rpm all the latest releases of products which is how Red Hat delivers bug fixes.

There should be an update icon on the lower right hand side of the screen in X Windows.

RH9, OK.
Thanks, I did know about the online Reg option. I just thought, Like HPux, there was an accumulative patch bundle that may need to be applied. Im not sure why my telnet session through X may be slow. It is a bit slow, sometimes real bad. But going to the system console, it runs very fast. System monitor shows pleanty of resources. Is there a 'terminal services client for Linux. So I could be on the console from my desktop?

I'd agree with SEP - RH 9 is the way to go... especially if you're running Samba - it's so much easier to setup in 9

the package that is closest to terminal services is VNC (It is part of Redhat, maybe it is yet installed). http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc
I think it is really great! But I don't know if it will have some troubles like your telnet. Go for RH9!

hi,

i dont think the problem is with the patch level.

can you see if you are running unwanted services and disable them. may be that frees out some more resources.

try out vnc for accessing the console. though i dont know when u need it. (except if ur machine is out of the network).

i manage most of my work using a ssh session.

Hello!

In linux it's not work like on the hpux,
if you want to made a change than you download new version and install it.
