I'm thinking of trying redhat, probably 6.2 as 7.0 has that kernel
headers trouble. What's the difference if I get the cheapbytes CD, or the
official redhat one, they sell both, redhat one is more expensive. Also,
there's a professional version, for over $100, what's better about it than
the cheap CD? For about $4.99, I can get a source, install, and
documentation CD, now I just put zipspeak in to my real linux partition for
the mean time until I get the CD.

The first is that the more expensive version allows you to email RedHat for support in getting the system setup. (Email only and only for setup is free. And a 30 day limit or some such.) The second difference is that one is much more expensive then the other one. Short take: buy it cheap. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

There is bound to be some difference. But since I am not a RedHat marketing weenie, I don't know them. Given your level of expertise I can't imagine what is on the profesional version that you need to buy. All the same, it is your money and you should spend it soon if it is buring a hole in your pocket. If your like the rest of us, you will get the CD for $4.95 and find more interesting places to spend it. In fact, you could send the difference to me. I am sure to have interesting places to spend it. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

It's nice to know that it's not worth the extra cost for some books and stuff that I would have no use for, seeing I have no scanner to scan them with anyways. I know linux for dummies didn't tell me much more than I knewalready besides x-windows and a list of compatible hardware, which may help if I consider getting a machine to have only linux on. I think the basic deal is to stay away from winmodems and hardware that's too old or new.

Does it solve that so called mixed kernel and headers issue? Will it be safe to use the kernel on the boot disk after installation, as I know redhat will copy it's own kernel in off the CD, or do I need to keep from rebooting and compile while I still have speech (if ppp is available in that kernel). Does the compilation with speakup in it turn in to an rpm that I'd have to install with rpm -i? It'll be an experience installing with 1 disk instead of using both a root and boot disk separately. Hopefully I'll be able to use fdisk to get the partitions set up, but I probably can just use the option to skip it and reinitialize the partition I already have, just saving /etc/asound.conf to restore alsa when I get to that.

Does ppp configure without x-win, or will I need help to get online? I know someone else was wondering that too, linux for dumbies just tells the x way of doing reconfiguration of network interfaces. I know ifconfig would control the IP address of the ppp interface, but as how to establish ppp0 as an interface they say to go to the network thing in the control panel. I wonder what the junk going around that redhat mixed kernel 2.4 headers with the 2.2 kernel to cause bad compiling of programs.

Apparently it's not like the debian linuxconf, but maybe similar. Does kickstarting work pretty good, is it a good idea on a laptop where I must boot from CD, can I have kickstart on it's existing dos partition?
