Hey can someone tell me how to veiw a cd with linux? With windows you just goto my computer and open the cd hth do i do that here?
 
su - ... enter password
mount -a /dev/cdrom /mnt
cd /mnt

I think thats it. Graphical interface like windows, beats me, I always had a thing for the speed and tab completion of the command line.
 
Pop in the cd and a new icon representing the drive in which you put the cd in should pop up on the desktop. click it and read the contents of the disk.

SU
stands for super user. when logged in as a regular user typing su at the terminal gives you administrative privilges.

P.S.

must know the admin password for it to work though....
 
Yes, the command line is very powerful. Soon it'll be second nature to you. 🙂

I am pretty impressed with Red Hat 9. I was amazed at the progress that has been made to make the OS more user friendly. It's close to being Windows... of course, that is assuming you can get everything configured properly. Unfortunately, RH 9 requires you to set up the multimedia stuff yourself (movie player, codecs, mp3 plugin, MIDI plugin, etc) which can be a pain.

Still, RH 9 is one of my most requested distros (see my sig).
 
cool. ill soon be dooin this also. but im gonna go with slackware i think. gonna RTFM and learn for once
