The good thing about RHEL/CentOS/Fedora is the availability of documentation/books/dvds in bookstores and libraries. For example the Fedora 3 unleased book is of some use to CentOS 4 since 87% of the apps in Fedora made it to CentOS 4. - You may also consider joining a LUG (Linux User Group) near you. - Try the "man yum" to check out info on yum. - Do a --help on a command - Do not run as root incase you damage your system with a wrong command. __________________________________________________ Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the faq/etiquette.
