In Need Of Redhat video Tutorials.
-
Hello to anyone reading this post. I'm in need of some Red Hat tutorial videos. If is there any one out in Mangolassi land that can aid me?
In advance, thank you so much,
Wright IT. -
Anything specific you're after?
-
I've got some book style stuff but not videos. Any particular topic?

Hey Matt. I just want to learn the INs and OUTs of Red Had. How to set it up, secure it, work with window format...etc. Thank you for taking the time out to inquire. -
@MrWright4hire Happy to help
If you're brand new to linux I have to say the most illuminating experience for me was installing it on an old laptop and going to town. You'll have some problems to solve right away and it's a great way to get a taste of it quickly. If you've been around linux before, I'll defer to someone who's better equipped to help (I'm a noob as well).

@MattSpeller thank you. I'm a bit rusty with linux due to not using it in a while, but I'm building me a LAB and my computer BiG brother told me that Linux is the way to go. Therefore, I want to sharpen my skills on different Linux servers. I have Xen, Redhat...etc
I just need some video Tutorials to help speed up the refreshing part. lol! -

I didn't see you there Scott. My bad. lol!
-
@coliver thank you for the reference. I'm checking it out now.

Anytime. The book was written so that anyone could pick it up and walk through it with limited knowledge of the *nix systems. I'm sure @scottalanmiller has several other suggestions he could make too.

The Sybex RHEL certification books are generally very good.
-
Take a look on YouTube, there tends to be a ton of stuff there. At least enough to get you started.

Hey Scott. I want to thank you as well as the rest of you guys for your help thus far. Guys to be honest, the book thing isn't for me. Unless I'm in school and or I have to do it, I don't' want to be bothered. Reason being is, sometimes in books things are explained in such a way that if you're not familiar with the procedures, you may not understand what's explained. With the video you can watch what's being done as well as understand what they are explaining. Besides, one man's technical lingo may be another man's Achilles' heel. Whaaa? Exactly! lol!
Therefore, if any of you know of or come across some videos that are set up in CBT Nugget or Lynda format that would be great. I'm surprise that neither of the two I just mentioned didn't have anything on Red Hat. -

Ok boys and girls. I reach another snag in breaking my Red Hat virginity. How can I get from a regular GUI interface to a Gnome interface? Can anyone help me please?

Not sure what you mean, Gnome is the default interface on RHEL. What interface have you set up currently?

@StrongBad See I'm trying to follow a video tutorial and I'm just trying to follow it verbatim. However, I guess it's a matter of different versions of OS. I'm working with Red Hat 6.4 within VMware workstation 10. The video speak of an editor called emacs that I can't find. I'm thinking I need to add a special package to it. Then my VM is stating that I need to subscribe my Red Hat to do any update, but I get a error message stating that I'm not associated with any organization.
If anyone has any suggestion to work around this dilemma I would appreciate it. I really would like to learn this OS. Thank you Scott and the rest of my Mangolassi family for being gentle with my ignorance.In Advance, Thank you so much,
Student of life. -
You should not be using emacs, you should question a video using that as a guide. Something is wrong. As a system admin the absolutely only tool you should be using for editing is vi because it is the one and only tool that you will always be certain to have. Emacs is a crutch, as you already see, as it is not available by default.
To get it just...
yum install emacsBut learn vi instead. Do NOT hamper yourself with emacs.

Oh, you have installed actual RHEL. Don't do this. CentOS is the name of RHEL when it is free. You can't use "real" RHEL without paying for it, even for learning. You must switch to CentOS.
