what is my localhost login?
 
How do I find my local host login, or get past it to boot up to redhat?

You need to enter your username and password then run "startx" to start a GUI. It seems like your system is starting up in text mode.

Once you've got reddazz's solution working, you can figure out how to start the GUI (X server) at boottime. Nice exercise to learn Linux.

Hint: have a look at runlevels and the file /etc/inittab

In case you didn't create a normal user during installation, the login name would be root. If this is the case rather than typing startx, you should create a non-root user by typing adduser. This should be the name you normally use to login.
