You are in a totally different world, my newbie friend. The CLI is way different than Windows; to run programs you just type the name of the application. There are multiple task managers: in GNOME (the Red Hat default Desktop Environment) the 'System Monitor' should be under Applications/System Tools. There's also
Code:
ps ax Code:
man command-name |
few things about RH9.
1. no longer supported and is considered legacy. do a google serch for fedoralegacy and yum. 2. as for getting to the CLI there are a few ways to do it. ctrl+alt+F1-F5 will get you to new terminals. these are all CLI only, but you can startx in them if you wish. the easier way to get to a terminal is to click on the redhat (main menue) then its under system settings (i think, its one of the lower system something) and near the bottom is a black window. right click it and put it in your panel. then when ever you want/need to do something in the CLI you can just click that black box on your pannle (task bar for windows area) and you will be given a white screen that you can do what ever you need in the CLI. http://linux.org.mt/article/terminal that will give you great detail about useing the bash terminals. http://www.starnetok.net/~jallen/tut...ashbasics.html more http://www.computerhope.com/unix.htm that last one also has a short compairison between DOS and CLI commands. enjoy. |
thanks for the links dude
what is fedoralegacy & yum i thought redhat 9.0 was the latest, how could it be legacy already what do you mean by CLI only? i found the terminal, is terminal the best CLI? |
