RedHat Linux 9.0

Why are you running an antique distro like RH9? Install
Fedora 7 or
CentOS5.1 and then we will be able to give you some
help. RH9 has been
dead for 5 years, who knows what was packaged with it.

I am a Visual C++ programmer that is trying to get up to
speed on Linux
by Monday for a job interview, there is a job that mostly
involves
Visual C++ but also has some Linux. I already know the
essential basics
of compiling C++ programs, and need to very quickly fill
in a few gaps.

You don't want to be playing with RH9, it's would be like
playing with
Win98 when your prospective employer wants Vista
experience. My
suggestion to you is to download and install CentOS5.1.
http://centos.org/

CentOS5.1 is identical to Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.1
which is what most
companies run. CentOS5.1 will work much better for you
than RH9. It will
also allow you to tell your prospective employer that you
have experience
with the Linux distro that they are probably using.

Telling them that you have experience with RH9 is like
telling them you
have experience with Win98. Save yourself a lot of grief
and install
CentOS5.1.


I have a maximum of one hour to learn text editing on
Linux/Unix so that at the end of the hour I am reasonably
proficient, please offer advice within these constraints.
