I am new to Linux, after isntalling Linux Redhat Advance Server 2.1 everything go fine, but I have two questions:

1. everytime I reboot the server I have soemthing like three option to boot: linux, linux smp, linux up, what are the differences between the three, why do I have three options??? can I delete the other two??? I don't have this problem on my other server

2. some reasons, I have another folder for every user and the folder named is nsmail. why do I have this folder???? Can I delete it????

thanks

1. Different kernel's to choose from most likely to boot to. SMP is multi-processor support. Not sure about the other. Check your lilo.conf or grub.conf file to find out which one is which, etc.

2. Seems to me that stands for Netscape Mail. If your users are using netscape, then its probably creating these folders to hold their email. I wouldn't delete until finding out if they need them or not, etc.
