Where can I download red hat linux 9 free?

Q. I am a student of CSE 5th Semester. Please help me !!! How and from can I download red hat linux 9 free.

A. First you have to track it down, that might be a bit tricky since it is several years out of date.

You can get the latest version of RHEL from http://redhat.com/ and Fedora from http://fedoraproject.org/ - they are the two successors to the old Red Hat. (RHEL is commercial, Fedora is free).

If you really want to get your hands on the obsolete, unmaintained version then try ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/ - but they haven't fixed security holes in it for years, so I strongly advise you not to.

Is there any other OS set of Linux software for download?
Q. Ubuntu is a set of Linux operating system software with the Linux OS that is distributed over the web. Is there any other set of Linux operating system software that is distributed over the web? Red Hat does provide Linux for download but it provides only the OS, I think.

A. Ubuntu, Red Hat and most other distros are complete, and often quite large downloads. There are some specialty distros that are smaller.

www.distrowatch.org lists 360+ distros. Check them out. Basically any of the main stream distros will be just as complete and can load pretty much the same software sets - with some (usually only) minor differences, if any.

If you get a distro DVD, you will get much more software than you would get with a Windoze installation. CDs because of size limitations don't have that quantity, but they should have links in the software to download as much as you would like once the program is set up and running.

where to download red hat Linux Enterprise?
Q. is red hat enterprice is free? where to download it? for learning purpose?

A. You should go to :
http://distrowatch.com/search.php
and use the search engine to filter which distro would be best for you. You can select a version for beginners, or multimedia, or a special purpose. They are all free to download. You can read reviews and articles about each distro. You can select a distro for ease of use, needs little ram or hard drive space, popularity, most software packages available, amount of customization,etc.

I would also suggest that you go to that distros website to read their documentation, especially if you are new to linux. They have tutorials on how to install, how to setup various hardware, and tips and tricks. I would also recommend using their forum to search/ask for info/help.

What's the difference between Linux operating systems?
Q. Linux has a lot of operating systems, I'm not even going to bother to list them. I was wondering, it there a difference between them? Does each type of Linux operating system hold a specific purpose? For example, Red Hat holds a different functionality to Ubuntu, or something like that.

A. Linux has many distros but all versions of Linux are the same OS.

Linux is extremely customizable. So much so that it'd be impossible for one person to do all the tweaks necessary to have what most people consider a polished and functional operating system. On top of that many Linux distros are heavily customized for specific purposes. Robotics, hardware appliance (routers for example), Real time OS (traffic lights, microwave ovens, unmanned aircraft), Music studios, Network security, Home theatre, Cash register, various industrial and scientific specialties, generic servers and so on.

There are also distros that are specialized to fit on a 1.44 floppy, thumb drives and a few distros specifically designed to run on CDs rather than be installed on a machine. There are distros that mimic other operating systems such as Mac OS and Windows so closely that at a glance you wouldn't know that you were not using those OS's. Other's are branded such as Dell's version of Ubuntu which is customized for Dell hardware.

There are also commercial versions of Linux. Red Hat Enterprise for example which is designed for high end servers and IBM's SUSE which has customizations for running on IBM virtual servers/being the host OS for the virtual servers, a desktop version which much of Europe's governments uses.

Distros often come with sub distros that are customized for various purposes. For example most major distros have a KDE and a Gnome version These are customized to people's favorite window managers and some distros support up to 5 or 6 window managers with sub-distros. Most support at least 2 or 3. Long term support, special purpose sub-distros like Ubuntu Studio which is geared for musicians are also common with widely used general distros.

The majority of distros however are shortcuts for Linux users to get what they want/need without spending the thousand of hours personally making those customizations. For example some like myself do too much customization and install too much software to upgrade a machine every 2 years. So long term support versions appeal heavily to me. I need and use a large variety of applications so it's important to have very large software repositories. Other people choose high performance bare bone distros. Some people want total control over their sytem and choose primitive distros that give you the bare min necessary, anything else the user installs themselves and customize as they see fit. (not recommended for anybody but an expert).

There are philosophical choices involved in choosing a distro. One big split for example is RH vrs Debian based systems. The RH fork (RHE, SUSE, Mandriva, CentOS) and Debian fork (Ubuntu, Debian) have some small differences in the way they are built. For example RH systems use YUM for software installation while Debian based systems use Apt-Get. You can install and use YUM on Debian systems and Apt-Get on RH systems. It's just a matter of defaults. Same with how root privileges are handled, and other minor details. The average user won't notice such subtle differences.

I've included a link to distro watch which gives details about specific distros as well as release cycles and where to download them.

What are the differences between UNIX and Linux, and what about all those choices within Linux?
Q. What are the operational differences between Linux and UNIX? Why would a programmer choose one over the other? What about software selection and ease of programming (with already basic knowledge of programming, and wanting to dive in to open source)?

In terms of Linux, what makes things like Red Hat cost money and things like Ubuntu not? Is pay-for OS based on Linux better quality than freely distributed OS? What is the best choice for Linux-or-Unix OS for a budding programmer?

A. What is Linux
http://www.linux.org/info/

What is UNIX
http://www.unix.org/what_is_unix.html

Why Linux is Better
http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

Linux is open source therefore in most cases free of charge with the exception of enterprise releases such as SUSE Linux and Red Hat
http://www.novell.com/linux/
http://www.redhat.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software

What is Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.

Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.

We issue a new desktop and server release every six months. That means you'll always have the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer.

Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months on the desktop and server. With the Long Term Support (LTS) version you get three years support on the desktop, and five years on the server. There is no extra fee for the LTS version, we make our very best work available to everyone on the same free terms. Upgrades to new versions of Ubuntu are and always will be free of charge.

Here are some options for installing or trying out Linux

Option One (Full installation)

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

Linux Mint 8 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=44

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 8 (Helena) Installation
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-8-helena

Linux Mint 8 Helena User Guide
http://www.scribd.com/doc/23787138/Linux-Mint-8-Helena-User-Guide

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 8 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 8 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive

Option Two (Install Linux inside Windows)

Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi

You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.

Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.

Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu

Ubuntu 9.10 Download
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) User Guide
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic

Linux Mint 7 has a similar feature called mint4win and the directions given above for Wubi can be followed (XP and Vista only)
http://duncsweb.com/2009/09/27/mint4win-a-wubi-based-installer-of-linux-mint/

Linux Mint 7 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=38

Linux Mint 7 Gloria User Guide
http://www.scribd.com/doc/15884753/Linux-Mint-7-Gloria-User-Guide

Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 7 can also be run straight from the LiveCD without touching your Hard drive

At present I do not recommend Ubuntu 10.04/Linux Mint 9 owing to multiple stability issues

Option Three (LiveCD)

Here the possibilities are endless as you can try out as many different Linux distros. until you find the one thats right for you DISTROWATCH.COM gives full listings (second lists the major distributions)
http://distrowatch.com/

How to install a downloaded software [ like browser etc. ] into Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Q. I have downloaded some software like a browser & anti-virus but unable to install those in my PC where Red Hat Enterprise Linux is installed. Please help me and tell me how to do that.

A. First, try looking in the package manager for those programs. That way, they download and install automatically.
Second, try looking on this forum:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/
Third, I don't know if this will help, but it might be useful some day:

How does red hat linux work?

Q. I am interested in getting red hat workstation. I am very confused about subscriptions and such though. When I logged on to the website it said I can download the iso for all their operating systems, so what is the point of a subscription? Customer service wont answer and I really want to know. Also what is the difference between desktop and workstation? PLEASE ANSWER. Thank you so much!

A. The Subscriptions are for the Tech Support and also for all of the updates (Security Patches and what not).

Why don't you just go with Community Enterprise Operating System (CentOS) http://www.centos.org/ which is a rebranded clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Where can I download an iso of Red Hat 6 for free?
Q. I do know about Fedora and the RHEL rebrands such as CentOS. Is Red Hat free to use if support is not needed, or do they charge for updates as well as support?

A. It was my understanding that Red Hat is one of the very few Linux Distributions that you are required to pay for.... Try something else, like Ubuntu...
www.ubuntu.com

Thousands of pages of community and company support, easy to use, etc..

How do i delete Linux OS off my computer?
Q. I want to take off Linux red hat OS off my comp. so I can download windows XP and I'm new in the IT world can someone PLEASE take me step by step through this process
When I try and boot from CD (XP OS) it gives me a black screen? I feel like I need to edit in terminal?

A. When you're installing Windows XP, you'll have the option of deleting the Linux partition and installing Windows XP over it.

Why are some linux distros not free when linux is supposed to be free and open source?
Q. Anywhere I can download Red Hat Linux for free?

A. "Free and open source" means that you are free to modify, change, and yes, sell, programs based on that source code. Red Hat can sell Linux all it wants, provided it offers the source code to the customers. Red Hat makes most of it's money through paid support lines, not selling the product.

You can't download Red Hat for free, since it contains proprietary components that Red Hat wants you to pay for (and you really wouldln't have any use for them anyway.) You can, however, download a distro made up of all the free parts of Red Hat, and configured in much the same way. This distro is called "Fedora."

Where can I download red hat linux 9 free?
Q. I am a student of CSE 5th Semester. Please help me !!! How and from can I download red hat linux 9 free.

A. First you have to track it down, that might be a bit tricky since it is several years out of date.

You can get the latest version of RHEL from http://redhat.com/ and Fedora from http://fedoraproject.org/ - they are the two successors to the old Red Hat. (RHEL is commercial, Fedora is free).

If you really want to get your hands on the obsolete, unmaintained version then try ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/ - but they haven't fixed security holes in it for years, so I strongly advise you not to.

How to install a downloaded software [ like browser etc. ] into Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

Q. I have downloaded some software like a browser & anti-virus but unable to install those in my PC where Red Hat Enterprise Linux is installed. Please help me and tell me how to do that.

A. First, try looking in the package manager for those programs. That way, they download and install automatically.
Second, try looking on this forum:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/
Third, I don't know if this will help, but it might be useful some day:

Where can I download an iso of Red Hat 6 for free?

Q. I do know about Fedora and the RHEL rebrands such as CentOS. Is Red Hat free to use if support is not needed, or do they charge for updates as well as support?

A. It was my understanding that Red Hat is one of the very few Linux Distributions that you are required to pay for.... Try something else, like Ubuntu...
www.ubuntu.com

Thousands of pages of community and company support, easy to use, etc..

How do i delete Linux OS off my computer?
Q. I want to take off Linux red hat OS off my comp. so I can download windows XP and I'm new in the IT world can someone PLEASE take me step by step through this process
When I try and boot from CD (XP OS) it gives me a black screen? I feel like I need to edit in terminal?

A. When you're installing Windows XP, you'll have the option of deleting the Linux partition and installing Windows XP over it.

Which linux distribution do you think is the best for home use?
Q. Which linux distribution do you think is the best for home use? Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora, Suse etc?

A. I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 6 Main Edition which is Ubuntu based. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled.

You would be best off RUNNING IT LIVE so you can get the feel of things.

Linux Mint 6 Release notes
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_felicia.php

Linux Mint 6 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=31

Once you have got the feel of things you may wish to consider an installation

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 6 (Felicia)
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-6-felicia

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 6 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint can also be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.

Remember you can RUN IT LIVE !

How can i get 'RED HAT' LINUX for free? Can i get a cd for free by post?or should i download it from the net?

Q. Can i get a CD containing 'RED HAT' LINUX by post, free of any charge as it is an open source software?? Or should i download it from the internet? Please give the details........ ( i want the red hat version of linux itself)
can you give me the links...., so that i can get them?

A. You seem to know the name RedHat but not enough about it to not ask this question. To the person who said that RedHat no longer exists and then turned around and said it is RedHat Enterprise, doesn't that sound a little silly? To answer the question you asked, YES AND NO. No you cannot get RedHat for free, it went commercial quite awhile ago. However they continued on with the home-user version renaming it Fedora to distinguish it from the commercial version. And what exactly do you mean "...free of any charge as it is an open source software??" Where did you get the idea that open-source is synonymous with free? I bet you've heard about the free software movement and think all open-source software is free. The GPL ( http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html ) states that a program with this license is copy-lefted. This means it is free to redistribute and change the software as you see fit, even to sell it (yes, sell someone else's program for your own profit as long as you leave the license intact and allow the people that buy or receive the software from you to do the exact same thing. I hope that this clarifies things a little for you. I didn't mean to sound so harsh, it was not my intention.

where to download red hat Linux Enterprise?

Q. is red hat enterprice is free? where to download it? for learning purpose?

A. You should go to :
http://distrowatch.com/search.php
and use the search engine to filter which distro would be best for you. You can select a version for beginners, or multimedia, or a special purpose. They are all free to download. You can read reviews and articles about each distro. You can select a distro for ease of use, needs little ram or hard drive space, popularity, most software packages available, amount of customization,etc.

I would also suggest that you go to that distros website to read their documentation, especially if you are new to linux. They have tutorials on how to install, how to setup various hardware, and tips and tricks. I would also recommend using their forum to search/ask for info/help.

What's the difference between Linux operating systems?
Q. Linux has a lot of operating systems, I'm not even going to bother to list them. I was wondering, it there a difference between them? Does each type of Linux operating system hold a specific purpose? For example, Red Hat holds a different functionality to Ubuntu, or something like that.

A. Linux has many distros but all versions of Linux are the same OS.

Linux is extremely customizable. So much so that it'd be impossible for one person to do all the tweaks necessary to have what most people consider a polished and functional operating system. On top of that many Linux distros are heavily customized for specific purposes. Robotics, hardware appliance (routers for example), Real time OS (traffic lights, microwave ovens, unmanned aircraft), Music studios, Network security, Home theatre, Cash register, various industrial and scientific specialties, generic servers and so on.

There are also distros that are specialized to fit on a 1.44 floppy, thumb drives and a few distros specifically designed to run on CDs rather than be installed on a machine. There are distros that mimic other operating systems such as Mac OS and Windows so closely that at a glance you wouldn't know that you were not using those OS's. Other's are branded such as Dell's version of Ubuntu which is customized for Dell hardware.

There are also commercial versions of Linux. Red Hat Enterprise for example which is designed for high end servers and IBM's SUSE which has customizations for running on IBM virtual servers/being the host OS for the virtual servers, a desktop version which much of Europe's governments uses.

Distros often come with sub distros that are customized for various purposes. For example most major distros have a KDE and a Gnome version These are customized to people's favorite window managers and some distros support up to 5 or 6 window managers with sub-distros. Most support at least 2 or 3. Long term support, special purpose sub-distros like Ubuntu Studio which is geared for musicians are also common with widely used general distros.

The majority of distros however are shortcuts for Linux users to get what they want/need without spending the thousand of hours personally making those customizations. For example some like myself do too much customization and install too much software to upgrade a machine every 2 years. So long term support versions appeal heavily to me. I need and use a large variety of applications so it's important to have very large software repositories. Other people choose high performance bare bone distros. Some people want total control over their sytem and choose primitive distros that give you the bare min necessary, anything else the user installs themselves and customize as they see fit. (not recommended for anybody but an expert).

There are philosophical choices involved in choosing a distro. One big split for example is RH vrs Debian based systems. The RH fork (RHE, SUSE, Mandriva, CentOS) and Debian fork (Ubuntu, Debian) have some small differences in the way they are built. For example RH systems use YUM for software installation while Debian based systems use Apt-Get. You can install and use YUM on Debian systems and Apt-Get on RH systems. It's just a matter of defaults. Same with how root privileges are handled, and other minor details. The average user won't notice such subtle differences.

I've included a link to distro watch which gives details about specific distros as well as release cycles and where to download them.

Where can I download an iso of Red Hat 6 for free?
Q. I do know about Fedora and the RHEL rebrands such as CentOS. Is Red Hat free to use if support is not needed, or do they charge for updates as well as support?

Is there any other OS set of Linux software for download?

Q. Ubuntu is a set of Linux operating system software with the Linux OS that is distributed over the web. Is there any other set of Linux operating system software that is distributed over the web? Red Hat does provide Linux for download but it provides only the OS, I think.

A. Ubuntu, Red Hat and most other distros are complete, and often quite large downloads. There are some specialty distros that are smaller.

www.distrowatch.org lists 360+ distros. Check them out. Basically any of the main stream distros will be just as complete and can load pretty much the same software sets - with some (usually only) minor differences, if any.

If you get a distro DVD, you will get much more software than you would get with a Windoze installation. CDs because of size limitations don't have that quantity, but they should have links in the software to download as much as you would like once the program is set up and running.

What are the differences between UNIX and Linux, and what about all those choices within Linux?
Q. What are the operational differences between Linux and UNIX? Why would a programmer choose one over the other? What about software selection and ease of programming (with already basic knowledge of programming, and wanting to dive in to open source)?

In terms of Linux, what makes things like Red Hat cost money and things like Ubuntu not? Is pay-for OS based on Linux better quality than freely distributed OS? What is the best choice for Linux-or-Unix OS for a budding programmer?

A. What is Linux
http://www.linux.org/info/

What is UNIX
http://www.unix.org/what_is_unix.html

Why Linux is Better
http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

Linux is open source therefore in most cases free of charge with the exception of enterprise releases such as SUSE Linux and Red Hat
http://www.novell.com/linux/
http://www.redhat.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software

What is Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.

Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.

We issue a new desktop and server release every six months. That means you'll always have the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer.

Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months on the desktop and server. With the Long Term Support (LTS) version you get three years support on the desktop, and five years on the server. There is no extra fee for the LTS version, we make our very best work available to everyone on the same free terms. Upgrades to new versions of Ubuntu are and always will be free of charge.

Here are some options for installing or trying out Linux

Option One (Full installation)

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

Linux Mint 8 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=44

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 8 (Helena) Installation
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-8-helena

Linux Mint 8 Helena User Guide
http://www.scribd.com/doc/23787138/Linux-Mint-8-Helena-User-Guide

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 8 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 8 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive

Option Two (Install Linux inside Windows)

Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi

You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.

Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.

Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu

Ubuntu 9.10 Download
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) User Guide
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic

Linux Mint 7 has a similar feature called mint4win and the directions given above for Wubi can be followed (XP and Vista only)
http://duncsweb.com/2009/09/27/mint4win-a-wubi-based-installer-of-linux-mint/

Linux Mint 7 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=38

Linux Mint 7 Gloria User Guide
http://www.scribd.com/doc/15884753/Linux-Mint-7-Gloria-User-Guide

Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 7 can also be run straight from the LiveCD without touching your Hard drive

At present I do not recommend Ubuntu 10.04/Linux Mint 9 owing to multiple stability issues

Option Three (LiveCD)

Here the possibilities are endless as you can try out as many different Linux distros. until you find the one thats right for you DISTROWATCH.COM gives full listings (second lists the major distributions)
http://distrowatch.com/
