Re: A newbie - What are differences between Red Hat Linux 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Fei, there you are a site,
http://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/linux/fedora-core/6/x86_64//iso/ and don't
worry, it's one of the links that www.redhat.com/fedora gives you to
download from.

to explain a little bit more, RedHat had a free version which was until
version 9 with an option to be supported from them, then they decided
to provide 2 versions Fedora and RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

They put everything new in Fedora for the comunity to try, when it
works "perfectly 100%" they put into RHEL, so, you have the newest free
software in Fedora. So RedHat Linux 9 is a bit out of date!!!

I hope it helps you

Thank you, Jan,

Could you please tell me where I can download a copy of FC6? It seems
there are a couple of websites, but, a stupid question - is there virus
if I download it from a "unofficial" website? I heard that no virus
attached in open source software, but I want to install a duo system in
my laptop - FC6 with Windows, so still a littlie bit unsure...

Thank you so much!

Hi guys:

I would like to learn how to use Linux now! Could you please tell me
what differences between Red Hat Linux 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
are? As a discontinued product, Red Hat Linux 9 is more economically
efficient...since I am just want to learn the basic concept about it
now, is it OK for me to practise Red Hat Linux 9 first, rather than
buying Red Hat Enterprise Linux? Are they similar for a newbie?

Thanks

Fei

Joey,


Fedora Core is a better option. The Fedora Core project is more
up-to-date. LVM for example is not in Red Hat 9 (if I recall corectly).
Fedoara Core is also free of charge, and it supports much more new hardware.

I recommend chosing between FC 5 or FC 6.


Kind regards,


Jan Gerrit Kootstra
