Red Hat 6.0 is not just the Linux operating system, it is programs that
make up the operating system, as well. Here is a very incomplete list of
programs that Red Hat 6.0 has:
* GNOME 1.05
* Enlightenment (a Window Manager)
* XFree86
* printer drivers
* TCL/TK
* Pine, Lynx, Elm
* bash, tcsh, pdksh
* gpm (a text selection program for the console)
And MANY others. There are also development resources for the libraries
that are included, which, among others, are:
* ncurses
* SVGALib
* others
So, don't worry, you've got a complete system! =)
