Hello Rajan, you need to register your machine with: http://redhat.com

If you do not want to pay for a Red Hat subscription (to get patches and updates) then you can use CentOS for free: http://centos.org

Good luck!

I recommend to read the Red Hat Manual: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Re...nux/index.html

It will probably instruct you to use a command such as:

Code:
yum upgrade
To bring your system up-to-date with patches and updates.

upgrade will probably not work so use update as root
Code:
su -
/* your root password when asked for */
yum update
