Linux version and vi
As a RH user, I've seen people referring to RH version 9, version 7 and so on, but also, that RH is about to release RH version 5, as if it was the most recent version.
Question 1: RH version 9 and versions greather than 5 relate to what ? Question 2: uname -r, gives me: "2.4.21-15.EL", as the Kernel release; is it related to a RH version 9 or 7 or another version of RH ? Question 3: when I man vi, it describes comands for vim. where do I find a good doc for vi ? Thanks. |
Red Hat Versions
RH 5 is actually RHEL 5( Enterprise) not Redhat 5
|
1 - Redhat finished at version 9. it the split into Redhat Enterprise which started at 2.1, upto the latest 5.0 and fedora core, which started at 1 upto 7, due soon.
2 - 2.4.21 is the version of the linux kernel. see http://kernel.org. it is nothign to do wtih Redhat itself. 3 - depends what you want, i like the gentoo vi cheat sheet if you google for it. |

E stands for Enterprise, right ? L stands for what ? How should I refer to the Linux I use ? Thanks. |

2- If the kernel version has nothing to do with Redhat version, a release of Redhat may have whatever kernel release? (I didn't take a look at the page you suggested yet, so if the answer is there, never mind). 3- Thanks for the tip. AC. |
