Would RedHat 7 Be a Good Choice?

2003-06-16 Thread Scarletdown
As I had mentioned in a couple previous posts, I've been experimenting with RH 5.2 off and on over the past couple years. Now, it's time to finally upgrade. Anyway, browsing through eBay listings, I came across an auction for RedHat Linux 7 Unleashed, with all 3 CDs still sealed. I'm assuming

I managed to get XF86 configured and have KDE as my default window manager. For the most part, it works beautifully. However, there is a bit of weirdness if I log out of KDE and then go back in with startx. When I go back in, the display gets really screwed up. Here's links to a couple pict

Samba Setup Problems - smb.conf Posted For Reference

2003-06-14 Thread Scarletdown

Slackware setup, I can compile packages for FreeSCO. Thanks again for the advice.  Looking forward to getting some of these little objectives met (major one accomplished tonight was getting Samba properly configured so the system shows up on my LAN.) -- Scarletdown

? 4: And finally, I want to upgrade RH soon. What I need to know is, what versions will work right (as in running an XF86 desktop without crawling) on systems ranging from Pentium-133 to Pentium-200, as that is the range of systems I currently use? Thanks. -- Scarletdown -- redhat-lis
