LINUX, as you must know, is not FreeBSD or any BSD as far as that goes. Now, there are many smart and diversified folk on this list and someone may well respond, but I would think that if you want LINUX information, you would ask on a LINUX list. On the other hand, why would you want to use Red Hat for a web server when you could use FreeBSD and get what you want and happily ask lots of questions on the FreeBSD Questions list - and probably get good and helpful responses. As far as I know, FreeBSD is the happy choice when it comes to web servers. ////jerry > > -What is the tool that more or less does the same as FreeBSDs sysinstall? > > -Where does one configure the network adapter settings? > > -How does one add packages? > > -Probably most important: AFAIK Red Hat is not typically the first > choice for a web server (as opposed to FreeBSD and Debian).
