trying to install rh9


ps 2 weeks ago i burned my 1st cd and last week i bought and put together this bad boy that i am typing on. so i have a pretty steep learning curve exponential baby. but anyway i am tired of windows xp already and would love to come over to the light.

please offer advice that i can follow . what happens after i log in as root is this

[root@localhost root]# what is this giberish dos or linux there of

i would like to have a command list if i dont have a gui . can someone please take the time to help a newbie set up properly because the books oreilly and sams suck ass.


thanks you rebels at linux

Type "startx" from the command line and that should start the x-server (GUI) if it is installed.

A quick google can get you Linux command lists. Very useful to have around.
