Initial Question

[Paulo Schopf]

Hi.

I read a lot about fedora but Im not understanding too much about the
goals of this project. So, I have some questions:

- In the future, will not the RH free edition be available?
    - If I use RH9 in my installations, should I migrate to Fedora?
    - Will updates thru up2date toll be available in Fedora?

Regards,

Paulo Schopf

Fedora is RH free edition, basically.  Anything with the "Red Hat" brand
on it will be the Enterprise Linux, of which you can look at the Red Hat
site for more info.

If you plan on moving forward, yes.  RH9 will only have errata for so
long, before you're stuck on your own.  Others have offered to continue
maintaining errata/updates to RH9 for security issues.

If you want to move forward, you need to go to Fedora.  Fedora 1 will be
the exact same thing as Red Hat 10, except the logo/name/version will be
different.

They are for now, don't see this changing.  You'll need to pay for real
service likely, tho.  Also note that Fedora has yum in the package list,
and (possibly) apt-get in the future.

And OpenOffice 1.1 and Yum/Apt support, and GNOME 2.4 .... ;)

Right.  Which would've been in Red Hat Linux 10, if it'd been named Red
Hat Linux still.  ;-)

Except for maybe the yum/apt stuff...

As I recall, OOo-1.1 was a request from the fedora list that was
approved, and not in the original plan. Same with 2.4. GNOME 2.3 was the
plan originally, and by request of people on the list (it was then the
RHL Project list) the change was made to 2.4 and this delayed the
release date by a couple weeks.

The point is it was changed by people on this list making a case for it,
and people at RH listening to the new community.

Here's my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. I changed all of the port
listings to "8008". I've tried it through my IIS server and it works fine.
I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I've restarted the services of course after changes. my fedora server is
192.168.0.101.

I haven't checked your file, but here's a related tip anyways:

IE has/had a moronic, idiotic bug where you have to to put http:// explicitly
if you use a port number.

This bug also has been known to confuse the browser so badly that you have
to restart it before it will do anything else.

(Don't ask me what is minimum sufficient behaviour to restart IE, since it's built-in to the
OS I don't know.)

This "bug" makes a little sense because the http:// indicates a web
host.  When a person has a url vegas.com:95, it could be any type of
service from email to FTP, etc.  As for the IE locking up, what's the
problem? After all it is a Microsoft program. What do you expect? <g>

Seriously, it makes sense to use the prefix with the suffix, but you
might have a point with the browser.

nope...I've been trying it both ways.
