Re: Changing the Key mapping on Emacs?


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.
