    # /sbin/linuxconf

    I've spent a lot of money on a Linux training course, installed redhat for the course while fraking up my ubuntu' s ability to start up. Now that I've done all this, I'M having trouble just starting out this cousre because of the command above, in the title. The course instructs me to su into root or super user, and run the command "/sbin/linuxconf --text", but I'M getting "no such file or directory". This is really frustrating, please help.

    The linuxconf tool was a nice user interface to the various configuration files that make linux work. Unfortunately, it is about 5-6 years out of date and no longer supports new versions of the operating system, such as newer Red Hat or Ubuntu systems. I tried installing it recently on a couple of current systems of mine, to no avail, just to check it out. What version of Red Hat came with the course?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    It didn' t come with a version of red hat. I just told be to buy a delux edition from best buy, but when I called best buy, they have not carried Linux for sometime now.

    Ok. Go to www.centos.org - The Community ENTerprise Operating System and download a copy of the CentOS 5.5 install or live CD/DVD from them. CentOS is a free version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Just the logos have changed. Everything you do there applies to a "real" RHEL system. You will need to burn the ISO disc image to a CD/DVD first before you try to use it to install the OS.

    Sorry. I corrected it, but my last post showed the wrong URL for CentOS. In case you need, here is the correct one: www.centos.org - The Community ENTerprise Operating System
