Red Hat Newb

[bwatson283]

I have reinstalled my Red Hat 7.2 after a few years of dust collecting.
I am triple booting 2k, 2k server, and Linux


I had it install Grub boot loader. I want to have all 3 choices at once. How do i make it add the 2 windows images or do i have to redo the install and do the LILO or none at all?

Where is the internet options thingy to specify the proxies and dns and what not?

Any good books or sites to go to to learn these things or not?

Um... more than a few years actually. Go download a new version before you waste anymore time. Windows 2000 is not so very different than Windows 2003 R2, but the same can't be said of Linux distros. RH7 is neanderthal compared to modern offerings. And apart from the technical improvements, you're not going to get any help when you encounter problems running something so old. And then there are the security issues. If you don't have the bandwidth to download, check out a place like cheapbytes.com to order CD's. But don't waste your time on 5+ year old Linux.

yeah, try FC (redhat based) and it will really open your eyes to the improvment made in the last several years.

If you install windows first, then fedora will add menus to grub.

Ok, since it was sitting around i thought i would give it round 2, I got bored on round one when it came out.

What about SUSE 10.1 Is that a good one? I have heard some good things with that distro.

Pick just about any recent distro. And if you can't decide, try 'em all or do a search on these forums for the hundreds of folks who have asked almost exactly the same question.
