Ok fellow techies, here is the latest. I had to install RH on a different machine yesterday due the first server developing a hardware problem. Seems it has defective memory so I am trying to find some replacement chips (3.3V 64MB DIMM) if anyone has any that are working and not being used, send me IM with the price and contact information and we'll see if we can work something out.
In the mean time, the other machine has been setup and the instal lwas again successfull thanks the the LCIP. I am going to setup the other machine as a workstation as soon as I get some RAM so I will have two machines to work with.
Ok, now I have manages to weasel a copy of Lindows so I am going to play around with that as well but right now I want to dive into the networking aspectLinux and have a couple of questions:
1. Does Linux have an equivalent to the Windows Network Neighbourhood?
2. What are the steps I need to make to enable the Linux machines to see the NT servers and vice versa? Is this where Samba comes in?
3. Can the network settings be managed from one of the gui's or do I need to use the command line?
4. Can ALL Linux functions & services be managed from the GUI? (I can hear the exasperated sighs at that one : ;D no to mention the shaking of heads : ;D)
I am onpause until I get some ansers to these questions. Anyone know of any good websites for Linux newbies?
