I believe you can set your text editor in /etc/profile with the
following line.
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi; export EDITOR
This would set your default editor to vi

The only reason to be "Redhat compliant" is if you're running complicated
comericial apps like Oracle for which you're relying on their commercial
support. It makes installation and setup easier because you can just follow
the prompts, etc. If you make a support call, the drone on the other end
can lead you through stuff by telling you, "OK now click on this..."

What makes you think Redhat is really any good for this? Prominent brand
names can make you think you'll be plugged into the main event or something,
and that by using anything else you'll be missing out. In practice, the
opposite may be true. I run both Mandrake 7.2 and Redhat 6.2. Mandrake is
built for the typical desktop user, has more followers in that category, and
thus probably better support. If you were running a *big* server, you might
want Redhat. The idea is to plug into the community which has similar goals
to yours.
But all that's splitting hairs. They're both Linux, dammit. Mandrake is
structured the same as Redhat, so the same stuff will be in the same places.
It doesn't matter.
> Are there any opinions? Are there any compelling reasons why I should NOT

No, especially if you're a regular, desktop user. Mandrake is superior for
this. It's more up to date, includes more useful apps, and configures
itself better. It will take you less work to get a usable system with
Mandrake. BTW, I wouldn't touch RH 7.0, nor will many commercial vendors.
There's a good reason they're all still standardized on RH 6.2.

Maybe. I am not sure how to boot NT4 from HD2 but you are welcome to

Possibly ..

I have once put four OSes on my PC and I am sure I could fit more if
there was enough disk space ..
HD1 (3GB): Windows2000
HD2 (6GB): Debian GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, Solaris 7.
Linux and OpenBSD shared the same partition for swap. Booting was
done with the linux loader, LILO and it worked well. You should
install Linux first or second after windows. Linux can very useful
for such setups. First, it has LILO which you can use to boot all
other OSes. Second, it can mount the filesystems of all other OSes
on your list.
Of course, at some point I have realized that this is a great waste of
time and duplication of effort and the fact that I still get to use
only one OS at a time made be delete all of them but Debian ..

Hi,
I installed RH7.0 on a Dell inspiron4000. all looks fine except that I
selected workstation installation and I found that I can't access this
computer from outside (rlogin, rsh, ...). there is no /etc/inetd.conf. My
question is if it's possible to upgrade to server without re-doing the
installation. Is inetd the only package I need to install?
a "networked workstation" that can not be accessed really doesn't make

It is perfectly legal to sell GP programs as long as you
abide by the rules laid out in the GPL. The obvious one
is that if a customer asks for the source code to the
program, you must supply it.
What do you think Redhat, Mandrake, Suse etc etc are doing?

I don't get this. I am trying out various bibliography style files. I
have downloaded a number of them from the web and saved them to my
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/base directory. No matter which of these bst
files I try to use for generating my bibliography in a latex document, it
ALWAYS fails.
I look at the format of the files, of which I know next to nothing, and I
see NOTHING different about them vs the bst files that work.
The following files, for instance, come with tetex/bibtex: plain.bst,
apalike.bst, and so forth. These work just fine but not a one of them
produces a reference page of the correct format. I have downloaded
pnas.bst, science.bst, nature.bst, nar.bst (for nucleic acids research),
and a host of others. NONE of them work.
I am using lyx. I open up a document with citations entered from a bibtex
bibliography database. I select plain as my bibliography reference page
format and it works fine. I enter "pnas" or "nature", etc, and it ALWAYS
fails. Instead of producing properly formatted citations and reference
page, my citations are replaced with "[?]" and the reference page is
blank. In EVERY case, if I am running lyx from an xterm, there is a
message like this when I try to use one of the new bst files (in this case,
I try pnas):
I couldn't open style file pnas.bst
---line 24 of file text4.doc.aux
: \bibstyle{pnas
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file text4.doc.aux
(There were 2 error messages)
The permissions, etc, for the new bst files are the same as for those that
work. I see NOTHING in the text format within them that would indicate why
they wouldn't work while those like plain.bst, etc, DO work.
What does one have to do to make a bst file frickin' work?!

RH 7 does not use inetd, it uses xinetd. xinetd is more secure and has
the r programs disabled by default. If you really want to use them
instead of the more secure versions (check out ssh which should already
be installed) then you can enable them.

IMHO, both are fine distributions and both have their glitches and
niches. We have people here using RH and some using Mandrake (and some
using other distros) and both groups are passionate about which one they
use. The bottom line is if you are more confortable with Mandrake you
will not loose anything by switching to it from RH.

No. The license allows you to do anything including sell them. HOwever,
you MUST include the source code, and you MUST allow the buyer to make
