Norma,
Generally it's a good idea to stay away from GUI
tools in UNiX. Generally system configuration should be done by hand. This way
you learn and you don't limit you knowledge to just Redhat5.0, you should be
able to carry most things right over to other flavors of UNiX. Redhat has done a
good job with the various GUI tools, but I find them to be quite limited.Quality
documentation is available online for just about any system configuration out
there.
I
found the following sites very helpful.
Best
advice, is to just install, and go from there. (just make sure you have www
access from a diffrent box) It's very easy, and pre-configured for most
configuration.

Subject: RedHat5 & XOne thing I have not been able to glean from my reading is this: Red Hat 5.0 has several neat tools for setting up things using programs in X Windows. If I change things using those tools, are they changed--period? Or do I still have to edit the various files that are recommended to be edited? This may sound confusing. I don't know a better way to put it. I am coming from a DOS/Win background and knew what to do in DOS that Win used, what to do only in Win, and what to do in both. Is there this same sort of complex set-ups necessary in Linux?-----------------------------Norma Thompson----------------------------------
